So, anyway ... The poor thing went for $627, where the bidding had stalled for a couple of days. I'm surprised there was no advancement. I'd lost interest about halfway there. I'll admit, I was more interested in acquiring its accoutrements than restoring it to playing capability, so it's probably in better hands. Hope to see it again after it's all fixed up. Bound to be a while before then.

So, is that what "refurbished" means? I'll be looking askance at items so described from now on.

I imagine that "seller refurbished" may be an eBay category. Clearly, he has mended the mandolin and has pointed out that he has not disguised the fact that it is mended. In all other respects, the mandolin appears to be original, so the headline is possibly misleading. I think most people know that "refurbished" means something has been massively altered from its original and used condition- removing the patina of wear over time.
When I've seen the term "refurbished" during the last few years it's been in reference to computers, laptops mostly, and I've assumed it referred to things like swapped-out hard drives or upgraded memory cards - spiffied-up somehow but nothing too invasive. This was a restoration, perhaps even a reclamation. Saying it was refurbished is to engage in euphemism. He got pretty deep into repairs in order to get it back into playing condition. I'll concede it's an eBay category, and true, just not adequately descriptive. The seller's description paints a much clearer picture.

Ah, but the lack of a back ain't no slack, Jack! It allows for the maximum sound distribution to the player.
