From the buffet classifieds

Mandolin Mart is your one stop shop for all of your Mandolin needs.We are an authorized Washburn and Oscar Schmidt dealer, so you know that we offer the best products on the market. What's in a name? Quality, history and tradition.

Something about Washburn and Oscar Schmidt being used in the same ad as quality, history and tradition struck me as humorous.  I just can't seem to put my finger on it..

And this catchy little phrase, 'so you know that we offer the best products on the market' just screams buy from us.

Well, they're not TOO bad when you compare them to all those nasty ebay mandos.
I especially hate those "pearl inlay" coversd monstrosities. Talk about nickle plating a turd...
