A while ago there was a thread about someone buying a KM1500 (I think) on the Canadian Amazon. Consider this a follow up.
Now I'm all in favour of supporting real stores. My two good mandolins both came from stores (the latest from the Mandolin Store). But sometimes.... Amazon.ca had two KM950s. I watched the price of them fall to under 900 Canadian. (That's about 700 US vs 1600 to buy it anywhere else). I didn't really need it but was waiting one more day to decide when somebody bought one. The price of the remaining mandolin shot back up to 1700 Canadian. After two or three weeks it dropped to 1300. And every day after that it dropped more, till it got to about 1100. I told myself that if it went below 900 again I'd get it but somebody bought it at 1100. Now it is out of stock and I doubt they will get any more.
My congrats to the two people who got them. (Anyone out there?) Probably needed them more than me. I hope they are enjoying their new mandos. Still, they will be among the ones that got away.
