Hello all, I was wanting to buy this Oud online off of ebay or some other online store, but it seems like a very viable Oud. I've seen this Oud on many websites. The bowl is palisander and the face seems to be spruce. So, it looks like a good buy, but has anybody bought this or have any info about this?

Here is the link:

Please help me out with this decision. I really want to buy a good quality oud, but I lack the funds, so this is my budget. I just don't want to waste it on something bad or on something untrusted from the net.

Thanks!

This design remind me of a maker working for Naseer Shamma school, name "Marco". This may be from his workshop.
If it is one, it is quite good to begin and learn, a good student grade instrument.
