First time posting! I couldn't find a good answer in previous threads so here goes...
I was recently given the green light to start shopping for a new mandolin (hooray!). I'm looking primarily at US made F styles along the lines of a Weber Yellowstone, Collings MF, Gibson F5G, Ratliff R5, etc. I'm realistic enough about MAS to know that I'm probably not getting a forever instrument. I want a nice box to play until something better/different comes along. Maybe I'll get lucky? Either way, I'm looking primarily at used instruments so I won't lose a lot if I sell/trade up later on.
Is there a time of year that is better for finding a good selection of used mandolins? With the holidays around the corner, I don't know if it would be better to wait a couple of months or not. Any thoughts or suggestions from more seasoned shoppers would be much appreciated!
