The seller is missing out on some easy money there. Fight the good fight, houseworker! Try $10, see what happens.Or better yet, offer whatever the price is for a new one - undiscounted - plus $1. If he doesn't take that, he really is a fool.

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
Not with $49 shipping on top, no way! Actually the seller stopped inviting offers right after he got mine. Can't think why....Originally Posted by journeybear

$49 for shipping??? That must be one HEAVY bridge.

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
Wow a custom bridge for a mandolin with custom string spacing and height adjustment. Let me guess: $700 for the bridge or does it come with a mandolin?

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
I'm a habitual shopper of the classifieds here, and every couple of weeks check out what's what at the main dealer websites. Just because, right? It's been a while since I looked at eBay, but I cruised through yesterday and was surprised at all the excessively optimistic "buy it now" prices and opening bids. For whatever reason, eBay as a marketplace for used mandolins appears to be about over. Instead of finding some good deals, everybody thinks their 1960 A is worth $2,800.

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
A Gibson "A" from 1960 would be worth that, since they stopped making that model in 1933…
However, I guess Mike's referring to an A-40 or A-50, which were still made in 1960, and might possibly bring half that price.

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
Phew that KM-11 is a poor baby however it really doesn't belong on this thread since it already has 9 bids and no reserve, so it will sell.
We need the illusion-driven sellers who think they have the ultimate treasure.

Yes, that is the A to which I was referring.

Looks like someone paid $141 for it. Too bad, I didn't get a chance to ask my ant question.

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
1913 Gibson F-2 with broken head scroll, $5,000 opening bid and the lucky winner gets to own one of those awful early leather cases. Better yet is the description which reads in part:
"What a Great Mandolin! This one is all ready for festivals. It's beautiful tone rings like a bell. At least that's what I'm told everywhere I play it."
"Only flaw is that the one top curl is missing, broke off. Not sure of which decade it could have happened, but not on my time. Will hate to see it go."
"Shipping cost will be actual & fast as possible."
Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
Just like Bill's... sort of... I also like "one owner" except he is owner #2.

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
Asking $10K, "serious offers only." (Oh, and "restored by family member," no doubt a thoroughly professional instrument technician…!)
What's a "serious offer" responding to a ridiculous asking price?
Hey, Mac, I'll get serious when you do...

Re: This weeks mandolin that won't get a bid or buyer
Well, the seller tells me he already sold it for $9,600.
Which makes me wonder what he really had.

Perhaps he found one of those things that Barnum said was born every minute or he didn't have what he thought he had.
