Wesley S: Naah, I think I'll keep it. Funny thing is, the guy who sold it to me was a friend of my Father's. He called me when I was home visiting and asked me if I wanted it... for $8. I'd never even seen a mandola before, but I had a mandolin, so I told him I'd like to see it. He brought it over to the house and I was blown away when I saw it. It is beautiful and even came with a case! When I asked him again how much it was, I think that he saw he had a sale and said hesitantly, "ten dollars." I would have paid him $50 for it, even back in those days, so I was happy to pay the ten bucks. He was happy because he figured he suckered a dumb college kid out of an extra two bucks. Whatever makes 'em happy..:-)
