Peavey Transtube Special 212 - appropriate price?

[hoglf]

Hey folks,

 

The internet seems to be light on info on my amp here, which I'm planning on selling. I can't seem to determine what sorta price I should ask. I've attached a photo of the amp to this post.

 

Anyone familiar with this amp enough to take a stab at a potential asking price?

 

Thanks a million,

Chris

With so many amps being made in Asia now, many SS amps are $279 brand new..........

 

I would just keep it, it's too nice to "give away".

 

that's why I have 5 amps!

Not that familiar although I'm a longtime Peavey fan. There's one on the local (St. Louis) CraigsList for $150 with footswitch and manual. I figure they're worth at least that much. Original list price was $499.99.

I have two friends who have them. Both bought them used for under $200. List price 10 years ago was $499 so they probably sold new for around $350.

 

There's such a saturation of Peavey amps out there, I'm afraid the resale doesn't match what they might be worth.

I can buy Peavey amps all day at $1 a watt. A combo goes for a little more because you do have speakers in the cab.

$1 a watt for the head and add $50 per speaker and you come up with a realistic selling price on what things are selling at auctions.

 

This guy is selling one on EBay for $275 and has already done one price reduction. Not sure how long he's been trying but with a second listing its likely been out there for 2~3 weeks already with no buyers.
