Does seem to be a ringer for that Blue Moon. Close enough that you can assume its a less-appointed version of the same model built in the same factory in China. We don't know whether the top or body is solid or ply (forgot to mention that before) but considering that the equivalent but slightly upgraded Blue Moon model sells for 65 pounds it wouldn't do to make assumptions biased towards higher quality. I'd want at least the top to be solid in a mando that style. Look into the Blue Moon specs, and ask the seller if she can see any visible plie inside A walnut-laminate body would be acceptable.

It's probably a good buy at the price currently shown (31 lb), but will likely go in the end for more than its worth.

It looks like a decent player-grade folkie (not bluegrass) mando. The owner may have upgraded the tuners--I have done that several times, because otherwise-decent inexpensive mandos usually have crappy tuners and they are easily replaced. Other than a possible hardware or bridge upgrade I am sure he didn't "build it out of bits", mandolins are not bolte together!

But by all means get a mandolin, the best one you can afford!
