How did I miss this? It would be in my hands IF I did not have a custom BR being built. And I will be selling a Mya Moe soprano soon to make room. I love the aNueNue ukuleles and think their sopranos have great tone and sustain.

aNueNue Bird Cedar/Rosewood Soprano (US214 8234)

This is the very first and only cedar bird soprano we've gotten so far and it's awesome! The sound is SO sweet! Japanese luthier Mitsuta Morihiko designed this model with aNueNue, and it's one of the best sopranos we've ever experienced. The tone is bigger and warmer than about any soprano you...

New Moore Bettah up for auction at The Ukulele Site. Ulu top with The Tree back/sides. Will be interesting to see where the price ends up…https://theukulelesite.com/auction-...-custom-tenor-2220-ulu-the-tree-mahogany.html

Seven minutes... "only" at $14,300 high bid (a bargain?)

$14,600 with two minutes... every bid now resets the auction clock to two minutes.

Now $15550 with four bidders pushing over 71 bids

Eight minutes past official end time... five bidders. Over $16k and 85 bids... good show!

Over 100 bids... it may be awhile as still a few bidders. I believe you have to budget at least $20+k if you want to land it. It has gotta be stressful if you are in the game.

It’s funny, this bidding could be something you bet on. Right now Fra**** really wants it

I keep updating my wife at every thousand. She actually asked "you're not bidding are you?"

So many of the bids by "dia***" and "Fra***" are just $25 over the last "high" bid. I know you don't want to overpay, but it's an interesting strategy that's going to prolong the bidding.

Also, I heard the Moore Bettah at Ukulele Friend that also uses "The Tree" was going to be around $20k. Will be interesting to see where this one lands.

Yep....resets the timer by 2 minutes with every new bid until no one else bids.

I almost want to click Calculate Shipping Costs, but too afraid I might bid by mistake.

aannnndd....SOLD to dia*****

[pmorey]

I really thought it would be Don*****. Must have had a limit at $19k, when it's that high, I admire his or her discipline!

Not gonna lie, I really thought that was going to break $20k with that many bidders going after it in "extra" time.
