Buying the best uke you can really pays off. I was fortunate to buy a Koaloha soprano from MGM 10+ years ago. Soprano wasn't my size so I sold it a few years later for about what I paid. Bought a tenor from a small builder on Oahu shortly after getting the soprano. It has been my main ukulele since then. Taken it on nearly all our trips. I have since bought a second one from the same person. In the last couple years I have bought 4 ukes.
I have the toughest time resisting lesser know ukes from small/hobbyist builders. I feel I can buy a production uke anytime, but not so with the off-the-beaten path ukuleles. Just my qwerk.
My only advice is if you are buying us to try not to let an impulse buy get the best of you. If you buy more try to buy with purpose to fill in a collection, so to speak. Quality is better than quantity.
