Made an offer on a mandolin

Cool. Sounds like a bigger purchase than mine.

What was your purchase, John?

I got a pumpkin-top, amigos. I put frets on it, plus a set of tuners from Stew-Mac (the existing tuners were non-original and did not work well).

Have fun!

I don't understand what's going on with "Pleeox". Almost everything in the musical instruments is in the $50 to $70-something range. Smells fishy to me.

Straight out of Scott Adams 'The Dilbert Principle' from 20 years ago.... nothing like a 'mission statement'.

When googled, there are now two sites with the same listing. Beyond fishy - More like toxic red tide!

I was interested, so I clicked around a bit, and there was more than a few instruments that had no business stooling around at 53 bucks. I suspect it might just be a front for "carefully crafted reproductions" but I have a soft heart.
