He puts it up for auction on eBay. That pretty much determines a fair price. Don't know if he has a "Buy It Now" price before the first bid is entered, but a few cycles ago, it was pretty close to the final auction price.I agree!

HiI have a Ken Timms ukulele for sale, as-new. Message me if interested.
I've put some photos in a Google album here:
It's a vintage Martin style 0 in dark mahogany with 4:1 ratio retro-look pegheads, from 2015.![]()
Condition: as-new, only played a handful of times so zero wear.
If I didn't already have two, I'd bite your hand off John!I have a Timms for sale. It is a style 0 soprano made of Sinker mahogany in March 2021. It has has had very little play and is in as new condition - £500 shipped in the original box (no case) to UK address only. I don't want the hassle of overseas shipping.

Thanks for the update, if by chance the sale does not go through, let me know.Hi Jon Bloor,
Both my Timms ukes are lovely instruments, but I could not sell the Cuban as it has a very - erm - interesting history. The photo I posted shows that it does not carry a label. It was badly damaged during the finishing process and Ken very kindly sent it to me with a huge split, almost the length of one side. There was a thread, back in 2019, describing how I tackled the repair. I call it the 'Bootleg' Timms as it has no number, no label, and thus no provenance.
The repair is virtually invisible, and the uke plays splendidly (as they all do), but it means more to me than the meager price I would get if I were to offer it for sale.
The Sinker mahogany Timms has now been sold and will soon be on its way to the new owner.
HiThere are way too many Jons/Johns involved in this conversation![]()
That’s why I scream ukulele John!If someone calls out, "John!" in a crowded room, a dozen blokes will turn around.

I once went to a meeting where everyone was asked what was their first name. A nice lady then wrote out a name tag for you to wear. I told her my name was Clint. I was Clint for a day.
Fortunately her writing was very neat and clear.
Ooh, a rare 17 fret one!Not in the UK, but
