I guess my 1600 didn't cut it, I'm out.

That one is legit. It was for sale on Reverb for sure and I think it was listed here as well. You might notice he also has over a 1000 transactions all with positive reviews.
A lot of sellers claim they do better with a no reserve listing. Looks nice!

Yeah, pretty sure I also saw it on Reverb at one point. While the flame is nice, it's what I would consider typical for a blonde MF/MT style. Comparing it to mine, don't think it's any better. But that's probably also my bias. I do think the finishing process Collings uses brings out the best in the maple.
And yes, I've often had better luck with no reserve listings (in my case not musical instruments, but sports cards).

If this model (with cheaper tuners) costs $5,500 new what is this worth? Half of that?

I agree. The tuners alone are a $400-500 upgrade. $4000 would be a good price.

It doesn't help that the DOW just lost 1000 points in two days and July, August and September are the worst months to sell on ebay. I can't imagine it will sell for $2,025.00 (the current bid with 2 days left on the auction) but it might be a bargain.

An auction on this mandolin is a gamble. You never know. I just sold an item at no reserve auction there that went for 3x my estimate. I've have a "give it away" at auction also.
To me the pictures the seller is using could limit the enthusiasm on this auction a tad. IMO it lacks appeal against that gravel ground backdrop.
It seems odd to me that this exact same mandolin was "sold" last month for $4900.

If the sale fell through, that might explain it. But it does raise a bit of a red flag IMO.
It looks like it was listed for $4900, and then resisted as ‘ no reserve’. Interesting to watch.
