There’s a Dallas C banjo ukulele previously owned by George Formby on eBay UK. Asking price: £10,000. “I’m thinning out my ukulele collection,” is a bit of an eBay mantra at the moment. Very good news for us window shoppers. This seller has some gems for sale including a Gibson Sytle 3 and a Jonah […]

Pineapples and kiwis not to your taste? How’s about a watermelon ukulele from Kala? Another seller thinning their collection, this time in the UK. Current picks include an adorable Gibson banjo-uke and a decorative Favilla with suspiciously blurry photos. Plenty of stars put their name and face on a plastic ukulele, but Jimmy Durante? (Net […]

On eBay UK right now there’s a seller with a number of Bugsgear EleUkes up for sale. The strange thing is, the ‘Buy It Now’ price for each size is exactly the same. So you can pick up a Tenor TC100-PHP for £199.99 (it’s £139.50 at the Ukulele Shop) and a Tenor TC100-MHP for £159.99 […]

Since I spend a fair proportion of my time writing about the ukulele, so it’s only natural that I’m fascinated by my uke teaching forebears and their ukulele books. One such person is NB Bailey and two of his books are currently available on eBay: A Practical Method for Self Instruction for the Ukulele and […]

I go one week without talking about ukuleles on eBay and look what happens. A Leonardo Nunes goes begging for $200. Granted, it’s fairly ugly for a Nunes, but still. Perhaps with everyone on their holibobs, it’s a good time to be watching the auctions. The uke has been listed again and already has a […]

Ukulele Hero The Ukulele Hero t-shirt was very well received last time I mentioned it and from what I’ve seen they’re the biggest sellers. There are also plenty of other Hero style T-shirts including Banjo Hero, Cowbell Hero and Kazoo Hero. UPDATE: These t-shirts are currently unavailable. They’ve gone away and come back before, so […]

I caused a bit of a run on the Mahalo Les Paul copies when I mentioned them last week. eBay are now all sold out. You can listen to krabbers on his here. Obviously, I couldn’t resist. Mine arrived this morning and I’m very happy with it. It has some of the failings you’d expect […]

The new Mahalo Les Paul ukuleles and vintage ukes from eBay UK.

Purple is obviously this season’s colour. Kanile’a are producing a range called ‘Exotic ukuleles’ and a purple heart wood tenor ukulele has cropped up on eBay. This purple SG-alike is described as a ‘four string guitar’, but with a scale length of 19.5″ it’s fair to call it baritone ukulele. A couple of nice, vintage […]

Three cheers for the credit crunch. Hip, hip. Hazzah!. Hip, hip. Hazzah!. Hip, hip. Hazzah!. While the papers are full of doom and gloom about job losses and repossessions, the real story of the credit crunch is that eBay is crammed with people selling off their vintage ukulele collecions. Duane Hielman is selling off a […]
