    Default Cafe Classifieds, What A Terrific Resource!

    At the risk of repeating what has already been posted numerous times, I want to thank Scott et all for the work necessary to provide an invaluable resource to all of us.

    I've sold a few mandolins and other music related things here, usually for what I paid for them or less. That's all good. Not only has the Classifieds provided me with a fun place to check out what other folks have to offer, but most likely saved my marriage by keeping my mandolin mania in check! I've also met some great people through transactions the have always been pleasant and easy.

    Thanks again, Cafe!

    Good words. I’ve owned quite a few mandolins and only two of them were new. However they all came from contacts made through the Café. Lp

    Can't say enough about Cafe Classifieds. It's my daily enjoyment and so much knowledge gained from the listings. I've bought and sold via Cafe and for me it's better than ebay or anywhere.

    Great service to us all. It means Mandolin World to me.

    Thank you for a great resource! I was ready to jump on a Kentucky KM950 that was posted today. Ad is already gone, guess I waited to long...

    Don't tell me that - you're just making the torture worse!

    Actually, that is good to know. In just the past few weeks I had decided that I wanted some form of Weber as my next mandolin. Unfortunately, I cant pull the trigger on anything new for another 3 months, and chances aren't very good that this particular Bighorn will last that long - but a Bighorn is now DEFINITELY next on my list!

    Can you love and hate the classifieds at the same time?

    I had been planning to get a 2nd Collings and had my eye on a couple of MF models last year. I came home from work one day and there was a new listing in the classifieds for a blond model under my budget! No photo was yet displayed, I contacted the seller and said I wanted it sight unseen. He insisted that he send several and that was fine, I still wanted it. It is set up so well that I've been favoring it over my MF-5. I have a reference instrument now to get them both set up the same. I am very grateful for Mandolin Cafe and the service they provide to us!

    I’m glad the folks that have reported so far, have had a positive experience.
    To date, I’ve had a different experience, many tire kickers, no buyers.
    In the past few weeks, I’ve had good luck with other popular ad sites, receiving full asking price for
    Mandolin related items.
