re: How have i erred?--Ernie, somebody got burned here or something, and now they want you to post a pic of the date, and your UU name with the instrument in one of the photos. I love this board, but I think that rule is a little overboard, not to mention how quickly someone always tells you that you are doing it wrong. Anyway, I've sold some stuff here before and after that rule took place--it is not that hard to comply, but everyone could be a little more welcoming, and understanding that not everyone lives and breathes on this site. I will vouch for you... I know Ernie is the real deal folks, as I have bought from him over on the FMM board. If it has been in Ernie's collection, you can bet it is nice. The Gibson tenor I got from him was one of my all time favorites. Then I got crazy, and sold it over here to fund some other uke purchase. I saw the same uke come up on Ebay a few years later, and I tried to buy it back, but it went for WAY more than I sold it to the person on UU...Good luck on the sale! If I were feeling like a collector, I'd snatch it up in a minute, but I have a mahogany concert that suits me already.
