Staring to show up recently on EBay and Reverb for under $750.00 sometimes. US made that is. From the label this one looks to be US made.

Just got a Quartz OF for $600.00 that I flipped on Craigslist for $725.00

I had thought that the move to China for production of the new Breedlove mandolins would make the price go up on the used USA made ones. It appears that the lower priced Chinese made instruments are actually putting downward pressure on the price of used USA made Breedlove mandolins. It's a pity since the USA made ones were so much better than their current cheap Chinese models.

Chinese Crossover FF can be had for $600 if you don;t mind an imperceptible blemish.
Here's the new Crossover FF for $100 off

I still prefer the USA made ones, but for many, if you can buy the same brand of what looks like the same instrument, new, for 1/2 the price, it makes the used ones not seem as worth it.

The Breedlove American OO I lnked to at EBay went for $674.00 at auction. Nice deal.
