    Default Greg Leisz Snakehead

    As the owner of a similar instrument, I keep looking at the Greg Leisz snakehead up on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181271997094. It seems that I'm not alone, as there are 49 watchers. But despite 6 offers, there has been no sale. Is the BIN out of line given the play wear?

    I've got one exactly like it in far better shape. I would think it would bring more than that,but times are tough.

    I really had to stop myself from clicking the BIN button.

    Regardless who it belonged to that is pretty much within std retail price for that mandolin. Nothing wrong with that and that is a fair asking price IMHO. These days, however, eBay is for bargain hunters.

    I am surprised the seller offers no evidence of why he is dating this mando as 1924 - i.e. serial #. That bugs me.
