Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
He is just beginning a learning curve or its a scam. And the customer service must be included in that price, "Don't Bother Me". Bet his store does great. Or he consulted Duane Eddy's people about pricing.

Somerset Pa. being so prominently part of everyone's travel plans he must get a lot of visitors to his store!
Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
Here's the store: http://blubaughsonline.com/
Perhaps this is the owner's first foray into the vintage market...
If he's tired of delivery services damaging his instruments, perhaps he should pack them better.

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
The store website lists it at $5,000 and shows the "never-unrolled" strap attached. I guess the $3,000 reduction is cause he unrolled the strap.

Have a look at the headstock and fret job on this F2. Poor thing.

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
We discussed that F2 a bit when it showed up last month. My opinion hasn't changed, although I note that the asking price back then was almost twice what it is now:

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
I think that has been here before.
I wouldn't necessarily give it a "wow" but more an "ewww" especially as it has one string broken!

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
Serious lulz when I look at that thing. Surely it was a joke, and not intended to be an actual instrument? The frets aren't even parallel with each other - they look like something from a Tim Burton flick. The f-holes that look like they were carved out with a pocket knife. Not to mention the extreme angle of the tuning machines making each string bend around other posts. The tailpiece isn't even close to being centered. Knots all over the wood. I have to believe this was intentionally built as a spoof or a gag.

Don't let Journey Bear see it. I think he has a collection of those.

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
I had to come out from lurking on the forum for this one... I had a feeling you guys saw it already.
The ALL CAPS "I WILL NOT SHIP, SO DON'T BOTHER ME IF YOU'RE NOT COMING TO MY SHOP" testimony invites ridicule.
But hey, it's easy enough to just not bother the poor guy.

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
I assume it was the owner that was appraised at 1800, not the mandolin
Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
BIN price is $6,200, but that eBay seller accepts offers too.

One of a kind and rare 12 string mando, the only such thing in Utah.
Would I give them $62 for that thing ? No. I have enough trouble keeping 8 strings in tune.

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
Wow, is that a rare f-plus-oval hole Gibson? I hear they only made three of those and two were destroyed (when Lloyd saw them, after firing the workman that made them.)
