Wow, if you think you were ridiculed in that thread, you might just have issues. Even the one who said it was one ugly mandolin, might have been referring to the shape of it, because no matter who made it, the wide horned cutaway could be considered funky looking to some. Other than that one comment, everybody was very supportive and encouraging, if you ask me.
Again, I iterate - the ridicule we are piling on is aimed at the eBay seller, not the mandolin. Nobody would have said much if the builder had listed it as his own work. There is such an eBay maker/seller, whose work is, well, different, and nobody says a thing.
