I have never paid over $800 for a uke (though I've owned marvelous Kanile'a and Kamaka tenors).
But I still have a Collings itch, especially the satin UC1/UT1. So I'd like to ask this community:
At $1200 + tax + shipping ($1300 total) how well is this UT1K with haircut headstock priced (if it is "excellent" as described - you can never be sure with GC)?
Top appears to be two piece, plainer but attractive straight grained koa.
I know that buying used is always purchasing someone else's second choice, but I really like to buy and sell used at a price where I can easily resell without haggling, usually 65%.
But I also know it's a seller's market with Collings...

And, yes, it's sold, so pics won't be available for long...
Are there beautifully built customs in this price range that should be considered instead?
