I don't know who "some" would be. For me it's the opposite: if you're going to discuss an auction it's polite to post a link. Like so:

I don't think there's a cone underneath that pie plate, so I can't see how the mods are doing it any good. It has less than a day to go and has received no bids at a starting price of $9.99. Perhaps that's because the starting price is about $9.98 too high.

Whoa! Isn't that Kay's ultra-rare "El Primitivo" model, the bane of Shermgel Devestators everywhere?

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."

Yes, somebody wanted to make it look like a rseonator. That bridge is a real work of art!
Sold for $9.99 plus $21.99 shipping, which in my opinion is close to overpaying....
Its worth that just for the thrill of finding out whats underneath the hubcap.
This is the first time I've seen a "Lincoln log" used as a bridge, lol!

Completely opposite ends of the mandolin spectrum -- from the sublime to the ridiculous...
Interesting, the faux resonator instruments that keep cropping up. We probably forget that 75 or so years ago, a resonator cover plate was evidence of a top-quality instrument; Nationals sold for higher prices than Martins then. So, stick something like a cover plate over the wooden top of your Kay or Harmony, and you've increased its possible market value -- or you think you have. Now, it just seems, well, "ridiculous."
