New Rule

Hi everyone -- new rule in regards to e-mails -- please have some pity on me and refrain from being the 100th person each day asking me for a (free) value on their beloved family instrument heading off to eBay (all I hear in my head is "No more auction block forrrr meeeee....").

If you're interested in getting in touch to sell something to me you think I might be interested in (read: bizarre, crazy, and interesting period fretted instruments), please do, and I can make a (fair) offer.

But I can't be a one-man Antiques Roadshow for everyone going through Grandma's closet and finding a breeding clutch of taterbug mandolins.
