I'm just putting feelers out on this one. Is anyone looking to unload a mainland red cedar soprano, or possibly even a concert? drop me a line.

I'd consider an ohana cedar top too, but I'm looking for an all solid wood uke.

Not sure if you've seen it but I stumbled across this Ohana cedar top soprano on ebay this morning...

Thanks for the tip, but the 50mg is still laminate back and sides. That's still a pretty good price though, good spot.

It may be "B" stock. The seller purchased from a dealer who sells B stock, and this may be a second.

The seller of the Ohana on ebay looks like her purchased it for $98.

Not described as B stock, but I wonder how a $250+ MSRP winds up at $98. Hmmm...

good sleuthing. I've seen that seller before, and they sell B-stocks, but there's nothing wrong with a b-stock at a significant discount as long as its just aesthetic blemishes

I wonder what MGM sold this model for, with hardcase? I'm thinking $169-$189. Not sure cause none are lsited, just concerts. So that would mean $115 Buy it now, $15 to get it here, and then the purchase of a case. So $130 + case. So I'm not sure how deep a discount this actually is. Just saying...

your lowball guess was 170. 170-130=40 discount. that's a 24% discount for a couple of scratchings or a ding. I'd consider that.
