I found two Kamaka Keiki Ukuleles in my wife's 93-year-old grandmothers basement. She told us none of her children were ever interested in them but she thought they might be worth something. I told her I would try to figure out what they were worth and sell them for her.

I am not a Ukulele expert but I have talked to several senior members on Ukulele Underground and I have done extensive research about these Ukes. I feel like I have two gems on my hands. The one I am listing in this post is in the original box and plastic and is in almost perfect condition. The only imperfections are a couple of small surface level scratches. One on the base of the neck and to very small surface level nicks at the base of the body that may be original to the instrument but I want to reference them to make sure I am being fully honest with any potential buyers. I have posted close up pictures of exactly what I am talking about.

I have been told one of these Ukes in average played condition can sell for between $225 and $325 and in perfect condition between $400 and $450. This Ukulele I believe is in the middle of those two ranges and I am looking to get around $375 for it but I am willing to negotiate especially if you are interested in both of the Kamaka Keiki’s I have. The other is in absolutely perfect condition with nothing special to note.

I have sold several items on ebay and have an excellent 100% rating and feel very comfortable using pay-pal as a form of payment or we can work out sending payment in another form but with all payment I will not ship until the payment has fully cleared.

The Buyer will also be responsible for the cost of shipping form Atlanta, GA. I thought I had these Ukes sold a few weeks ago and have already bought shipping supplies to make sure they get to their final destination as safe as possible but will take any reasonable shipping advice as well.

Please send me a personal message if you are interested and enjoy the pictures I have posted!
