That guy has huge hands! A picollo mando. How neat. The inaly is purty too.

Now that mando will be mistaken for a ukelele more often than the regular size!!

Sorry but I've edited this original post and removed the link. No fault of yours b.pat. That instrument on eBay is not yet fully paid for and the seller has been permanently removed from the classifieds and this board for using both resources to defraud buyers and sellers. I can name a half dozen builders and a couple of retailers who'll back me up on this. Buyer beware on eBay is all I can say. I'm not naming names but this individual has created a lot of grief for me personally by my need to get involved in his business dealings. Trust me when I say a little bit of this goes a long way.

Kinda wondered about that one...

Specifically, how he is doing

a favor to a friend in another state so I don't have the mandolin in my possession

That's enough to keep me far, far away...

[Scott Tichenor]

Oh, this is the tip of the iceberg, trust me.

Oops

Sorry, I had no idea.

#Maybe the post will serve the purpose of reminding us that things [Even with a great mandoin ]are not always what they seem.

#Thanks for the heads up Scott.

With all the mando fanatics with severe MAS who read these classifieds, why would any seller with a good instrument go to eBay? Just about anyone who is looking for a nice instrument is here, and these classifieds are full of honest mandolin-loving dealers and private sellers; also they get watched like a hawk by the administrators and fellow mando-lusters.

The reason Swamp - some folks, like GCrep (we all know who it is), are looking for that one unsuspecting consumer who does not know the prices/values of used mandolins. They are looking for uninformed consumers.

However, there are some well meaning, honest straight-up folks who buy and sell on Ebay. Actually, they are probably in the vast majority, but those few rotten eggs give the others a bad name!
