Mandolins

So I am looking for a mandolin. A cheap starter instrument and I was wondering if you guys knew anything about them?

 

My friend plays mandolin, and with specialty instruments, especially stringed ones like that, don't spend under 100 dollars. The damn thing will go out of tune all the time and probably discourage progress.

I've played guitar for well over a year. I am just looking for something entry level to broaden my abilities. I play a folk/punk style music.

I have a lot of experience with stringed instruments of various types, just not mandolins.

 

What I posted is entry level, just of good build quality.

 

I know, I was just saying just incase. I don't want someone linking me to like a $5K Gibson or something and be like 'herp derp get this'.
