Been having a PM conversation with Ash Telecaster about music theory. Ash, I hope you don't mind me quoting you here :mandosmiley:

Shaun's probably right. Get 'er done.

If you negotiate the terms, be sure to emphasize you are serious about the mandolin and really want it. I've paid the paypal fee for things I've bought before. Nothing that big, though.

I personally wouldn't do that (Venmo or F&F).

Let's see what some more experienced folks say, but it leaves you with no protection, unless (maybe) you fund the payment with a credit card. I'd...

You can't pay with cash when you get to Austin?
That sounds iffy to me. Though maybe he wants to save on fees. How about a non-refundable deposit (maybe $50) for surety with the remainder in cash on...

It's pretty disappointing to get yourself finally psyched up and then it's gone. Actually happened to me this morning on a CL item, but it was a real lark (a lute guitar - and I don't play guitar at...

My opinion (FWIW) is Do it - you have little or nothing to lose! *

I commented on this on your thread on the newbie page.

* Other than the opportunity for the road trip.

Sherry, if you want to learn some practical theory, but you don't want your head to explode, check out Duke Sharp's Garage Band Theory'

No judgement intended. Everyone's different and it's all good. It's just curious. All his walls were covered. I wonder if he had favorites, and if there were a bunch that never got played.

Just watched the video from the OP. That's pretty weird. He had so many, yet his skill level was not great. You have to wonder about the psychology of that.

I feel like you get a certain level of respectability just by selling here, vs. on reverb or ebay or something like that.

I can't think of too much that sounds more fun than a road trip with a new mandolin at the end of it :)

There was an accordion at my house growing up. I think it belonged to my dad's uncle. He was from Cleveland and of Polish descent; polkas were likely involved. Nobody seriously played it, but us kids...

So do you feel like the UPS folks are going to do a good job of packing? We've heard before here that insurance often isn't worth a hill of beans.

I would like to be in a room full of mandolins and hear those angel voices from the other instruments!

Now that is really wicked cool looking instrument! What an extraordinary color!

Beautiful. Glad you can quit worrying and get pickin. :mandosmiley:

So I am really into the western novels of Louis L'Amour. In the books, the Texas Rangers and other cowboy type good guys are often out on the range when a weather phenomenon called a "Norther" sweeps...

eg. a "rod iron" fence (seen relatively often on CL NH) :grin:

Well that worked! One less problem to deal with :) I learned something new today, thanks.

Hmm. Thinking that's not it. I shifted back and forth from the mobile to full version and it didn't solve the problem. Unless you have any other idea, I'm going to assume it's this @#$%^ laptop....

I'm having some problems on my new computer. GRRRRRR.
Starting last night, the display for the forum is not correct, all the graphics are missing at the top. Other pages, home page, classified, look...

My Morris has a narrower fretboard than my Stradolin. I had the Stradolin first, and find it a little harder to play the Morris, mainly because the strings are closer together. Both are well set up...
