Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | I've got an MM68 in very nice condition for sale. Beautiful Cherry-cherry burst finish. Comes with a nice case and the world's best Mandolin Stand. What that means is that I converted a Hercules Guitar Stand into a mando stand that fits the MM68 perfectly. Very stable and secure. I have a couple pics in my gallery and I'll add a couple more later.
Price: $640 + shipping

Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | Either my pricing is out of line or the market is smaller than I realized. Anyone know anyone interested? Great mandolin and the Mandolin stand is awesome.
I can sell the MM68 separately for $610 if that makes the difference but the stand is certainly worth the $$ and is the only one in the world like it.
Thanks for your consideration.

Location: SoCal | Jim, I don't think your pricing is out of line. At this time, it appears that Mando-gas has subsided here on the Board. It's a cycle like everything else. A number of us already have them... there are others that would probably bite at a great deal.
I think eBay would provide the opportunity you are looking for. |

Location: Fayetteville, NC | Price looks fine to me. nothing over the top abou the price on this USA made O-Mando. If I had the funds, I'd grab it up in a heartbeat, as I've always wanted to learn mando and wanted an O.
While my first priority as far as Ovations go would be a 6 string , I certainly do want an Ovation Mando too. Good luck with the sale Jim.
She certainly is a beauty and withall the stuff your throwing in..this is actuallya really good price. |

Location: the BIG Metropolis of TR | Hey stellar, I think your Mando stand is fantastic! I also think you should make some more....and send them to OFC members that have mandos!(free :D )
Seriously, I can't think of any mando stands on the market that would be easier or safer to use than your's! |

I'm always amazed at how loud my mando is. I have a friend with an Applause version and it isn't nearly as loud or warm.
With respect ot the Mando stand, they're easy to make and work great. So easy in fact, I'm ammazed the Hercules company doesn't already sell them.

| MAn I would have snagged this one but I happened to find one with the newest electronics for a good price right here locally where I could pick it up and play it. And up here Ovation Mandolins are pretty scarce to find anywhere.
Owning one now, I can say I am totally blown a way at how nice and tight,loud and clear these little mandolins sound! Plugged in is, of course, second to none! Got the Zep Set done now! Somebody buy this Mando! It is worth the price. Randy |

| It's not the guitars .. It is how well we play them, ultimately it's how good they sound in the hands of a musician. I am fair..and I have my good days as well... But now that I own one of these little mandolins I can say with certainty I have not heard one better anywhere plugged in. Many of us plug in now anyway, so this sound is at least as important as the acoustic qualities. Acoustically these will come close enough to the very best Kentucky f hole versions to stand on their own. At least good enough for me. And the fact that they look like a miniature Ovation is just too cool on stage!
Worth every dime.
