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. |

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"? |

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. |
