Seems like a "no brainer"
Good evening everybody.
Since I sliced my thumb carving a whale(yes, a whale) to the tune of 25 stitches I thought tonight my be an auspicious moment to ponder a seemingly no brainer business issue. As you may(or may not) know, I've been looking for an inexpensive A style mandolin kit to have some fun with. Keith T. has some really nice parts, but I don't have the acumen/skill for his quality stuff. Just wanted a stupid Saga AM-10 cheapish mandolin kit to either succeed or, more likely, completely screw-up and not worry about losing a ton of money. So, here's my deal - WHY has everyone stopped making budget but profitable A style mandolin kits? A Saga kit can't cost more than $5.00 US dollars to make somewhere in China and yet sell here for between $100.00 to $180.00(dubious Walmart Ad)? I don't want a spectacular mandolin, I already have one. I just want to have some fun putting together a somewhat easy kit(except the Grizzly kit - have had really bad luck with their stuff) that I might get lucky with and have it sound good and look funky. In any event, good luck trying to contact Saga, seems they either don't really exist or are incapable of responding, or maybe just don't give a d***. In any event, I won't be doing anything mandolinish until my thumb decides to re-attach itself permanently. Just thought I'd throw this out here tonight before the the painkillers kick-in and I won't even know what a computer is
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Have a great night everyone!
