So you have an empty case..

[mikelz777]

Circumstances have left you with a nice but empty case. Do you:

A.) Sell the case

B.) Buy a uke to fill the case

C.) Other (please elaborate)

I have a spare gig bag and I use it to put in accessories tools strings and all the other small stuff that I don't use everyday. It's stuffed full...

If you have a lot of stuff that's a great idea!

 

[alolan.tony]

I think it would probably be easier to buy a new uke to fill the case than the sell it lol

I did the same with an excess camera bag, that I got in a deal with a lens

Back to OPs question:
My spare concert case I use for a long neck soprano that is way to small for it. If I had no uke to put in it, I might keep it as a spare or sell it depending on how much space I need.

Use the "old" case to hide "new" ukulele.

Never get rid of a GOOD case, especially if it's for your fav size uke. You are bound to get another uke that will either not have a case or not have a good case. I keep a few empty GOOD cases around when I cane find them. Have you looked at the prices of new nice cases? Like gas, they have skyrocketed. And unless you sell if local, it costs almost as much to ship an empty case as it does a full one! No brainer!

 

[RafterGirl]

What circumstances left you with that nice empty case? Did you sell the uke that formerly lived in that case? Then by all means, fill it with another worthy ukulele.

I don’t use cases but I do use gig-bags and I do have a couple of ‘empty’ concert size gig bags. Soprano is my preferred Uke size and of the two Concerts that I have I intend to sell one, perhaps I should let a bag go with it. Carriage is expensive and after costs are settled a sold gig bag doesn’t add much back into the bank account. A Soprano will fit in a Concert Gig Bag and leave space for a few other things, that can be handy.

Sometimes it’s just best not to fuss too much and adapt what you have to meet broader needs.

I hang all my instruments. When I leave open cases on the floor, they are quickly occupied by the cat.

 

[frets alot]

I'm in the same boat.

 

[Tin Ear]

When the case gets empty I just buy more beer.

Before I lost my UAS, I'd definitely buy another uke to fill the case. I'd take that as a sign that I should get another uke. Now that I don't have UAS anymore, I'd just sell or donate it.

If the cat falls asleep in the case and you close it, I wonder what happens when it wakes up? I can see a viral video coming.

If it doesn't wake up then you'll have a pre-loaded cat casket!

Or, if you close and latch the case, you'll have a jumping uke case

That's when the Schroedinger Equations apply.

A well-padded concert size gig bag is just about perfect for an Uzi. Just sayin'. (Nobody uses violin cases anymore)

I think it ran off with my religion.

So instead of getting another ukulele, perhaps OP needs a cat.
