    Default Is it Christmas or something? Wow, classifieds...

    Wow, what's up with Classifieds?

    There are more rare and beautiful mandolins up for sale today than I can bare to look at (and not buy).

    Calling my wife in to help me resist... Thankfully, she possesses a realistic view of our bank account.

    NFI, but wow...

    Five figure mandolins aren't in my budget either. Find us another 199.00 special please.

    It looks like there are a lot of great values, not just in upper end mandolins. Seems to be a good time to be looking for a mandolin.

    There are some really great instruments in the 2000-3500 range. It is a great opportunity and so many things that would make Christmas in April possible. Great observation!

    It's to help everyone spend their income tax refund! (Hopefully everyone gets one!)

    Speaking of taxes, maybe that's the reason people are selling. Not everyone gets a refund. They get a remit instead.

    It'd be real fun to buy them all, put days of the week tags on them, and rotate through the splendor.

    Yeah but suppose you had 365 mandolins, one for each day of the year, then you'd have to hire a maintenance person to attend to all the mandolins' needs and keep them properly dusted and humidified etc.
