    It's in the Classifieds here, too ...

    Yep, it's been in the Classifieds off and on for a while... no real demand for these...

    From the ad: "Responsible offers to date have been $6000 to $7500, whereby some have appraised it's value at double that."

    So "some" think that this mandolin is worth more than anything else currently in the classifieds? I think I might take my 15,000, buy the Heiden Artist F5 for 12,300, and then buy an actual vintage Martin flat top or two with the change.

    Looks like a nice mando. Good point on what one could buy with $6000, probably wouldn't be my first choice.

    Sometimes offers should be accepted. They might not come around again.

    I guess it's "priced to sell." Shouldn't take long to find a buyer.
