That PML from Hans looked like rare deal at that price. As to the abundance of nice ones showing up, I'm sure Mary nailed it!

As long as a post-flood F9 or F5G doesn't show up at a steal price I should be ok... I think.
and although not a steal of a price, i absolutely adore this Weber:
http://www.mandolincafe.com/ads/74373
the price is way out of my limits and i'd have to play it even if i could afford it, but it has exactly everything that appeals to me-and i love the necks on webers-they just fit.
i may really have to post my Martin 0028VS or the 00 Jeff Tweedy DB for sale soon.....................Brevard is only 2 hours 15 min away also.

I think I better develop a uke obsession. It's cheaper than MAS.
(My new T.V. Pal Maccaferri plastic uke could be the start of something ...)
I often wonder why Webers don't receive more adoration. While that Yellowstone wouldn't be my first choice, Bruce seemingly makes something for everyone at a wide range of price points. In fact, when I created a thread last summer about alternatives to the Collings MT, I did so fully expecting to be inundated with support for the Gallatin model. Instead, that support materialized for Girouard mandolins.

Thank the heavens for the Classifieds. It has made experimentation with different instrument styles possible without taking out a second mortgage. Got two additions (a converted RISA Uke and a Mandobird 8) from the Classifieds enroute and am looking forward to experiencing the differences with them and the rest of the stable. I expect in the near future I'll be posting an instrument or two on the Classifieds as I settle into what I prefer the most.
Being able to view an instrument on the Classifieds and then research it via an archives search is a godsend. We're lucky to have such a combined resource.

Current Stable: Two Tenor Guitars (Martin 515, Blueridge BR-40T), a Tenor Banjo (Deering GoodTime 17-Fret), a Mandolin (Burgess #7). two Banjo-Ukes and five Ukuleles..
The inventory is always in some flux, but that's part of the fun.
Thread Bump:
It's at it again, Brother! There are some smokin' deals right now, what gives?
That F9 @$1850 will probably be gone by the end of the day...

The F9 is (was) mine and it is pending. I really don't want to let it go, but its for the better. I will still have my Stiver, Flat, and Morris to keep me company. Oh and the Flat Pancake I just bought. It is a great mandolin but it is time to pass it on and the buyer seems like they will really appreciate it.
Gil Model 1 sale pending.....
Thank you. Now I can rest.
Doc, I try to stay away from the classifieds as much as possible. It will seriously keep me up at night when I see one I want. My head (hmmm okay I can sell this one over here....no I need that one for two tunes that I play.....I can sell this guitar....nahhh....that's my sons.....damn!!!!!)
