Brand new for that price at Guitar center. I got mine used for 70. Don't overspend just because you got UAS. CHeck out www.ukerepublic.com Mike will take care of you. I have purchased (through my school's club) over 20 ukes from him and he has a good assortment of ukes that might suit you.
ok, thanks a bunch. i guess i'll just go to guitar center.
Just make sure you check it carefully for any defects (especially buzzes) before you take it home. (I learned that the hard way.) But at least they're replacing it for free.
What I generally find at Guitar Center is people who know more about guitarlike instruments than I do, but don't really know much about ukes specifically other than the sizes. Usually I find that while they can't help you quite as much as you'd like, they can still be very helpful if it's a problem that occurs in guitars, and they're friendly and very interested in ukes.
I have an MU-70, and apart from the one defect, it's making a good first ukulele. (Decent sound, withstands being dropped on my bedroom floor, etc.)
I apologize if you already knew all this, I just assumed that because you only have three posts and you're looking for a Mitchell, you're probably new like me.
Good luck.

If you live in LA, here is one on Craigslist :shaka:

After getting a free replacement MU-70, I advise you to ask for a quiet room where you can check for buzzes. This time it's not a fret buzz that I have, it's something on the headstock; I think one of the tuning pegs was installed poorly. It was impossible to hear this in the main store area, but once I went in the car, it became very clear. Hopefully it's fixable, but if you haven't bought it yet, listen very closely before you buy.
Here's hoping you have better luck than I do.

I've visited many Guitar Centers. Never have I seen more than a few of the low quality ukes they carry in each store, but I've never found anyone knowledgeable in any way about ukes. Sometimes they will know a small amount of information about the guitars in stock. However, they aren't near the experts I am with guitars, either. I have always found the "specialilsts" to know very little. But, this may seem different to you since you're a beginner.
Guitar Center doesn't even keep non-rusty strings on their high end Martins and Gibsons. Ugh. I'm just going to stop now before I really get started. I really loathe and cannot stand those stores!
