Re: This is awful, but ...
I think the market is set on these. Pre-Gibson pancakes are $500.00 (low end) to $750.00 instruments. If they are trim level 3, they'll push a grand. Guaranteed there is an owner out there who'd take a hundred bucks for one of these. You may spend a lot of time and money finding that owner though. Not worth it.
These are great mandolins. Just make sure to use light-gauge strings. These are not instruments for J-74s! The GHS A-250 set matches the factory-recommended string gauges exactly.
I mention this 'cause if the instrument was strung with mediums, you may have a structural problem to deal with, which would really mess up pricing.
f-d
