Re: 1917 gibson f-2
Were I selling a mandolin -- not that I ever do -- I'd invest in a new set of strings, dab on a bit of polish, "tart it up" a bit -- maybe even tune it. When you're trading in your car, you run it through the car wash, vacuum the carpet, etc.
Especially if I were asking $2.5K -- or $2,750 as the prose below the pics states.
Not that bad a price for an F-2, but still, a lotta money...
