    I have 3 mandos and plan to sell one. I'm keeping the '91 Flatiron F5. I want to sell either the '74 Gibson F-12, or the '01 Weber Gallatin/all Maple custom. Both of these are near mint. I just don't need 3. Which should I sell? Will the Weber increase in value?

    Was the heading "too many mandos" and the number is only 3? Hmmmm...I'd hold on to all of those nice axes, unless you need the money...but that's just me...I'm trying to back my collection down to 7...

    It's so hard to let any of them go. But if I had to choose which of the three it would probably be the F-12.

    I recently cut down from 4 to 2, so don't feel bad. I would advise you not to drop below two. What happens if something happens to your one and only mandolin? If you have two at least you will have something to play.

    Easy choice. I'd sell the Weber. Any possibilities for a conversion from F12 to F5?
