If you or anyone you know is in the market for a violin, the ebay market is currently flooded with them. I snagged a rather nice instrument at 5% of its ordinary retail price.
Somewhat to my embarrassment, I now own two violins. I placed a fairly low bid on the instrument mentioned above, more or less expecting to be outbid (similar ones were going for higher, but in retrospect those were mostly a flashier model). In the mean time, I found a different seller who was willing to haggle over the price of a cheap student model, and bought that. Forgetting about the first auction until I recieved the e-mail telling me that I'd won it. Err, whoops?
I need another project like I need a hole in the head, but I seem to have embarked on one anyway. At least it should be fun.
