Looking at something on GBase from "Vintage Gintage", Bob Page.
Anybody have experience buying there? Would you recommend?
Thanks.

I purchased a mandolin from Bob Page, vintage gintage, a few years ago. My experience was great - very helpful, answered all questions, sent lots of pictures, priced fair, transaction was smooth, instrument packed well, shipped promptly.

Bob is a reputable dealer - straight shooter

Browse the classifieds. Bob Page posts there often. He has quite an array of interesting instruments that are not necessarily mainstream brands but allways very interesting. I do think that he represents the instruments well. My conversation with him via email was allways knowledgable and pleasant on his side. I have not bought anything from him but would consider doing so if I had an itch to scratch.

I recently contacted him about one of his instruments. Very timely, pleasant response. I would have no problem buying something from him. And yes, he has a lot of interesting pieces for sale.

Bob is a good guy and true instrument aficionado. I had a very nice conversation with him once and wouldn't hesitate to do business with him.

I recently purchased a mandolin from Bob; he is very experienced and very knowledgeable about the vintage instruments he offers. Great conversations, very fair price, excellent service - communication, careful packing and rapid delivery - and the instrument has met with much admiration from other musicians. I couldn't have been more pleased with our transaction and highly recommend Vintage Gintage.

I've since found out he was one of the Buffalo Brothers Music Shop brothers. I used to have a custom Martin commissioned by them.

The deal will proceed. Thanks, everybody.
