Loars, Loars everywhere... but not a one has sold lately. I may be wrong on this, but I feel it would take an exceptional example, realistically priced, to get the job done in our current economic meltdown...

You're right....lotsa Loars in the 200K+ range an they are staying with the original owners. Honestly, if I had a Loar, I'd put a ridiculous price tag on it and sell it if I could get it :grin:

As for the economy...with a million in the bank, I'd have no Loar. With 10 million in the bank, well, I'd have $9,790,000.00 AND a Loar :grin::cool:

"F-5 Loyd Loar # 72857, April 12, 1923 with Virzi intact, OHC"

Well if I had a $210,000 mandolin to sell I'd at least learn how to spell the name of the instrument I owned :grin:

This is a very fine example of a '23 with a Virzi. '23 Virzis are rare since it cost extra to have one installed in '23. In '24 they came free without asking for it.

Well, they are offering a 2 1/2% discount from appraised value - but it would probably be for a cash sale only!

I would bet that he could put 150K on it and it still would not sale!
