Re: Flatiron 3MC with issues - value?
Go for it. I've had a 3-K for 25+ years, and it's a workhorse octave mandolin. As to selling price, I've seen some just "south" of $1K, but since they haven't been made for quite a while, there's a limited supply and the price may edge upwards.
Of course, depends on what your bike is worth, as to whether it's a decent trade. And since there are a few issues, wouldn't hurt to get it looked over by your favorite instrument tech before you complete the deal...
