IA Craigslist: Gibson Flatiron F5 for sale

[Josh Nelson]

Hey all,
I've seen this ad pop up a few times over the past month on the Waterloo/Cedar Falls (Iowa) Craigslist site. I have to make it clear that I am NOT the seller, nor do I know the seller at all. But I figure someone here might be interested in buying this. I'd consider it if I had two grand free to spend on a new mando.

I should clarify that it is a Festival-F, not an F5. My mistake.

[Dave LaBoone]

I have an almost identical Flatiron mando from the same year (paid a couple hundred less than this one, though), and I'm absolutely thrilled with it. What a beautiful instrument, and a great value.

Not bad on the price if it's as slick as it appears to be.

Did some digging, turns out the photo's were exact match with ones from an Ebay listing last year, which was a 2001 Flatiron that sold for $1800. Emailed the seller with this, but no response whatsoever, ad listing is gone now as well. So either scammer or lazy seller!
