    Seller with zero feedback/sales wants your $$$ for these blurry pictures. I think not?

    A- That's not an f style.

    2- This is a Kentucky KM 300e...

    That said, it is an interesting looking mandolin, and if it's even close to being of decent quality, that's not a bad price. Still, I probably couldn't trust the seller.

    At $157 (including shipping) that non-Kentucky may find a home . . . . not at my house, but maybe elsewhere . . . .

    Here is one that has a .... unique finish on it. (Love that instead of A-style they call it ‘Rogue style’) https://www.ebay.com/itm/372393289008

    Isn't it funny that Rogue has now become some sort of benchmark name brand for mandolins . . . .

    Definitely looks like a Rogue RM-100, minus pickguard and finish.

    Let's see; the RM-100's $50 new, and someone's bid $30 on this one? Must be the "customizing" that's attracting at least one bidder.

    With just a little bit of effort the seller could have taken some really bad pictures...I hate underachievers....

    But then how could you enjoy seeing the broken side? Or the neck heel pulling away. With either the dovetail or a wedge of some sort peeking through? That's what memories are made of. Or nightmares. Could be either.

    I was just think it looks like the one that bill Monroe played with that scroll thingy and all.

    If it’s that one then that’s great value!

    On an unrelated topic, is there a sarcasm font?

    Somebody is really, REALLY delusional about this one:

    - Unmarked and untested.
    - Condition: For parts or not working.
    - Sold As-Is. No Returns or complaints.
    - Gouges/scratches/possible cracks on top and side.
    - Looks like the back of the neck might be separating from the body.
    - Amateur kit/home build.

    Where on God's green earth this MissLynn come up with such a ludicrous a price of $2,400? I guess the good news is that she is accepting offers. Do you think she will accept 5% of the asking price?

    At least the leather strap looks nice . . . but then again, considering the rest of the instrument - I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that it was actually pleather.

    (sigh) Just plain pathetic.
