I think Charlie's made a good suggestion. Keep your eye on Ebay and watch patiently. I suspect you can find a good there at a price you're willing to pay - but you'll need to be patient, and do check out the seller profile info and chcek the descripts and pics well. Ebay could be a your best bet, on-line.

Also check in newsgroups. Two that I am aware of are alt.banjo and alt.banjo.clawhammer. Ask on them if anyone knows of anything for sale and it may yield some results.

No bargains at Elderly right now but always worth a check. Noticed an S.S. Stewart 5-string on E-Bay auction last week bid up to about $400, probably worth around $700 if it's really as good as it looks; not clear what model it is. Looked tempting. Also Vega Whyte Laydie for around $1000. What are your specs besides "old-timey"?

Lark In The Morning or maybe Mandolin Brothers? Both have interesting sites.

Go to the Banjo-L website and look up banjos for sale. Good luck

I am looking for a used old time banjo. Any suggestions where to look on or off line? I am in the San Francisco Bay area.

Had great success buying a used mando online last year, but can't seem to find any good web sites to buy a banjo...other than Elderly and Folk of the Woods. If you have any suggestions for other sites, I would appreciate your input.
