Do you own a banjo? - GoFuckYourself.com

Do you want to sell it?

I have a friend that wants to take up the banjo, and is looking for an inexpensive one to start off with.

She has tried Ebay, but has not won any auctions yet, so thought I would give her a hand

Don't you have any pawnshops or used instrument stores down there? She could probably get a cheap starter one at Sears.

Edit: Unless you're really familiar with an instrument and know exactly what you want, I strongly recommend holding it in person. Otherwise her desire to learn may end quickly.

Every instrument sounds different and feels different. Bought unseen, it could be too heavy for her, too big or small for her hands, etc. At the very least, have her get some advice from a player first.

yeah, I was just thinking a couple minutes ago that maybe I should just be a nice guy and get one for her . . . but your comments on holding it yourself first is a pretty good point

That is a little more than what she wanted to spend . . . although that price pretty damn reasonable for a new one

you can usually get good deals at pawn shops... they will always go lower than they are asking... just haggle

I am thinking I will blindfold her, and put her on the back of the bike, take her to a pawnshop and just let her hold them until she finds one that feels right, then go ahead and buy it for her . . . she has a birthday coming up soon,, and it would be cheaper than the house she wants

go to the nearest pawnshop...torture them to sell it to you! just kidding, just haggle for the lowest reasonable price.
