Emandos on Craig's List!

**mrmando** · Dec-26-2005, 6:12pm

AFAIK Craig's List, unlike eBay, doesn't have a global search function; you can search only one city at a time. But maybe they like it that way.

Anywho, let's start a thread for emando sales on Craig's List.

Here is a sunburst Kent 744 in Seattle. Too expensive, and hmmm... that photo sure looks familiar.

Here's a Harmony.

That particular model is actually a pretty decent instrument. I use to have one. It has a solid spruce top. I don't know about the back and siudes.

I want a solid body E-mando, otherwise I'd bid on this one myself.

What th'?

Mandoblaster in Santa Rosa. Pretty nice lookin'.

When mrmando says "What th'?" I sit up and take notice. Anybody ever play (or hear of) a Temecula? Anybody? Is this thing on?

**mikeomando** · Feb-09-2006, 12:44pm

Oh, wait, it's IN Temecula. Nevermind...

Seller says he bought it in Santa Fe 20 years ago but can't recall the builder's name.

It WOULD be Santa Fe. Is that a walnut body?

Wow. Here's a new Oldtown EM-7.

**Jim MacDaniel** · Apr-25-2006, 3:27pm

It is not an electric, but those must be some exceptional strawberries...

**mrmando** · Jun-22-2006, 2:30am

Yipes, here's a clean '59 Mandocaster...

No case, though.

**Jim MacDaniel** · Dec-20-2006, 3:05pm

Here is a 5 string Rono (for only $3500

**mrmando** · Mar-15-2007, 11:37pm

Here's a vintage Vega in Massachusetts.

Be afraid. Be very afraid...

"It is crafted very well along with the wooden custom case made by the same person. It stays in tune and sounds really cool. I question the fret placment of the highest frets-- it doesn't sound properly intonated on those."

How can it be "crafted very well", & at the same time "I question the fret placment of the highest frets-- it doesn't sound properly intonated on those."?

No, I'm not gonna delete my post. The person in Boston with the Vega electric still has it AFAIK, and has posted it several times. If you see a post in this thread that's more than a week old, don't click on the link.

Same applies to the older posts in the eBay thread. We're better off adding photos to these posts -- as attachments, not links -- and putting in more information.

I do check Craig's List in other cities. Sometimes I find people who are willing to ship out of town, and sometimes I find people who are downright scary paranoid. The Craig's List posting guidelines don't help ... they imply that only a scammer would ask for a long-distance transaction. Of course eBay owns a large chunk of Craig's List now ... I guess they're trying to position Craig's List as a safe haven for people who've been screwed over in eBay transactions once too often.
