That mandolin ain't "pristine".

I got it in the mail at lunch. It would have been an absolute steal if it was actually pristine. Maybe still an okay deal with the cracks but not what I was looking for. I'd like to give the seller the benefit of the doubt and assume it was temperature changes on its nearly week-long trip across the country.

He is a very good guy and easily approached.
As mentioned above, if it plays and sounds fine and you got a killer deal...there is merit! I commiserate with you and any expectations regarding being pristine also. Is there a qualified luthier you can consult with nearby to be sure it has no structural issues?
In the mean time, play it and see if you feel the Love!

Hey, we all know what pristine means. The question is, do you care? You got a nice price. Are you okay with the finish flaws?
If you are, you have two choices:
- Keep it and enjoy it.
- Tell the seller it's not as advertised, and see if you can get a partial fund.
If you're not, you have two choices:
- See if you can return it. If you can, then return it, get your money back, and look for another used instrument in better shape.
- See if you can return it. If you can, then return it, get your money back, and get a new mandolin.
