I think there will be a string of them since he was working on a new batch. I wonder how many people there are actually looking to buy one. I also wonder how many people actually want one to keep vs how many just want to win one because they're scarce or just want to try one and then sell later. There never seem to be too many unique bidders.There's another one on eBay now. Ends Thursday, July 25.

I’ve wondered this, too. There seems to be a lot of buzz for these, but I can’t see why beyond the scarcity.
Now, I’ve never owned or played a Timms instrument, so my opinion is pretty ill-informed, but to me they just look like new replicas of old Martin style 0 ukes. Classic design, light weight and clean builds, to be sure, but also the most boring (to me) of the different Martin styles.
Great to see a skilled luthier getting top dollar for their instruments, but it just isn’t something I could ever see myself trying to buy. I’d likely be more interested if there was ever a style 1 or 2.
The Timms ukuleles I’ve seen listed have been beautiful to look at and I’m sure to play, but I’d rather buy a “mint” vintage Martin style 0 (or even a style 1!) for the money some of these have been selling for.
Just my (likely unpopular) 2¢.
I own both Timms and vintage ukes.. they are similar but different. The workmanship on his ukes is spectacular and the sound of the recent cuban batch is really nice! It would be good to form an unpopular opinion after having tried it.. I think what you have is called a hunch not an opinion.
Lol.. yogitom I think you are based in Hawaii? You should be able to find someone who owns one?Or an assumption, which would make me...oh, wait...

Are you attending the sfukefest? I can bring a uke or 2 for you to try and vice versa..I wish! I’m an hour north of San Francisco in what used to be apple and pear orchards, namely Novato.
