    Default To find one like this would be a dream...

    I can't imagine finding a Sullivan A like this. Lucky person who scored that one...

    Well, there won't be any more of those. But it went for a pretty fair price ... I can think of maybe 2 or 3 living builders who could get $4K for an A.

    Huh? Actually, there are several living builders -- and certainly more than just 2 or 3! -- who routinely get substantially more than $4,000 for their A-model mandolins! Some names that come immediately to mind are Dudenbostel, Gilchrist, Nugget (Kemnitzer), Red Diamond (Macrostie), Ellis, Henderson, ... and I could go on.

    Collings are now over $4k for an A (other than an MT). Kimble is at $5200. Ellis at $5,900. Smart is well over $5k, etc.
