This was my main target, should have probably raised my bid... - modern maker  https://www.maestronet.com/conrad/Overview.html

Went for 1007$

 

What do you think of them? Good deals or not worth it?

First of all, I'm no expert, so take my words with a pinch of salt.

I think the prices for the instruments made around Markneukirchen above are reasonable.

The instrument below, made by Mr. Conrad?, unfortunately looks like a mass-produced instrument, sorry.

Naw, I was going to say it looks like an instrument I would make, I can see many imperfections that point to handmade.  The treatment of the corners and edges, the purfling, the imprecise ff's to name a few.

Not that it matters to anyone...
