Not complaining, just wondering if there's a way to separate out the used mando listings.

Open the Classifieds heading at the top of the opening page, go to the Mandolin page and enter ‘used’ as a search term.

I didn’t scroll deep into the results. It may be that since there is no key word descriptor, you can’t get a better result. Perhaps if you PM the site administrator you could get a definitive answer.

Possibly try searching before a year— example:
Gibson before:2020
Of course that may miss listings without a year mentioned.
hmmmmm.. that doesn’t work either

Well I did a Google search for
That gave a bunch of hits but it's not a real neat solution."used" site:https://www.mandolincafe.com/ads/
I think this has been discussed before and basically the answer has been that the software for the classified section is not set up to differentiate between new and used and reprogramming it to do so would be a significant PITA.

Not a big deal guys. I was mainly just wondering if I was missing an available option for searching.
Thanks for your suggestions anyway.

Yesterday, I typed into the Classified search box "mandolin used" - without the quotation marks. The search returned 6 interesting mandolins with the words "mandolin used" in the ad title. "Used mandolin" returned zero results So, it searches literally in the ad title. Looks like the vast majority of ads for used mandolin do not put those key words in the title.
The classifieds, while a great resource, have always been tough to sort/search through IMO. A lot of the entries are for new mandolins, and likely most of us looking through the classifieds are interested in used mandolins. Otherwise, wouldn't we be looking at store inventories instead?
I understand if there's a tech reason a new/used flag can't be added, but it sure would be great.
