    Default Gibson A project on Ebay - Shipping!!

    Starting bid price not bad but the shipping amount, wow! I wonder if they would allow local pickup?

    Looks like they're trying to pad the amount with shipping, so I'd guess they probably don't want pick up. BTW, I believe this is against Ebay rules.

    I suppose this is one made in the late 20s but not shipped until the early 30s.

    That's quite the pad. I just shipped a mandolin from Montana to Texas, via USPS for around $60, including insurance.

    Posting now states "Local pick-up only".

    My '22 F-4 shipped for the store's flat rate of $75, including insurance, and arrived A-OK.

    BTW, the funky photo in the OP is #7 of 11. The seller took his sweet time getting around to showing what was really going on there.

    I don't see that. But I do see this: "Seller does not accept returns." So be careful what you wish for.

    I see the auction for the black mandolin has been ended. This one appears to be getting bids- although it also presents certain challenges! 1903 Gibson mandolin:

    I will start a new thread for the above broken mandolin.
