The guitar community IS different alright 😂
Anyhow, the change makes sense to me. This IS a mandolin community after all.
As someone who pursues the Mandolin Classifieds primarily from the front page, I’m glad to see this change as it will allow new Mandolin ads to be on the front page for a longer duration of time. The...

For the screw, your best...
I'll think you'll get a lot of appreciation, whether the price goes up or not ;)
