I've been looking at ukes on eBay. There is one that has me really interested, but I don't know how to tell how much it's really worth.
It's old. It's a soprano. It's different. The condition is good to fair, cosmetically. No history with it, no name on it. Just a really pretty (to me) little uke that's calling out to me. No way to hear it played. No way to handle it before hand.
Definitely looks to be more than a bottom end "toy" instrument. I'm guessing mahogany/rosewood, although I'm not sure of that.
How much would you feel comfortable bidding on a uke with this limited information? How much $$ is a risk worth taking?
Auction ends pretty soon....
