Pepe Romero Custom Spruce/Italian Flamed Maple Tenor
Price $1,400 plus actual shipping. 72-hour inspection period.
Pepe Romero, from the world-famous Romero guitar family, is known for the great tone in his custom instruments (his guitars are $10k) and this one is no exception. Daniel Ho plays a Romero custom. And here is Corey playing this actual instrument:
I bought this wonderful uke at what I think was a killer deal, knowing I would enjoy it for a couple of months and pass it along to somebody else. Why? Because I love experiencing many different ukes. I was already swimming in spruce/maple ukes and this is yet another wonderful sounding and looking instrument.
I was able to buy it for $1,400 from the second owner, who primarily plays Classical Guitar. He owns three of Pepe's guitars plus another tenor uke that matches one of those. Any way, I am willing to pass it along to another UU'er at the same (plus actual shipping, if shipped). If no takers here in the next week, I will remove and list on FMM at a higher price.
This ukulele is in as-new condition. It has a clear, cling-on protector on the lower bout. While I don't know about the original owner, both I and the gentleman from whom I bought it play fingerstyle. There are no noticeable strum marks.
Here is a link to the listing by The Ukulele Site (http://www.theukulelesite.com/pepe-romero-custom-spruce-maple-tenor-2014.html) which includes sound sample and photos.

P.S. Other instruments possibly coming up for sale include a Collings UT3SMB, Southern Cross Banjo Uke, National Resonator, Kiwaya KTS5, Martin 2K (new) and possibly a vintage Martin 2K.
Edit: Removed the Ono as I immediately had three inquiries and it sold already! Kudos to David Ingalls for the well-deserved recognition of the quality of his work.
