Members guitarbilly74 Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 This thread has made me realize that falling in love with my Orange RV50 has saved me a {censored}load of money. Of course, now I find myself buying the {censored} out of guitars Ahhhh but here's a little secret: you spent more money on your Orange than I spent all these amps combined as most of them were straight trades or buy/sell for same price and some times at a profit. Examples: the second Ultra Plus: Bought it for $175, sold it for $485 Classic 50 = bought it for $175 sold it for $350 Mesa Caliber 50 bought it for $400 sold it for $600 Boogie 295 - bought it for $350 sold it for $680 A little over a grand in profit just there. The others pretty much broke even. By the time I factor the ones I made a profit on and the ones I broke even, I got PAID to play all these amps.

Members guitarbilly74 Posted January 18, 2011 Members Share Posted January 18, 2011 Billy....you make me feel funny in the private parts area. Thanks I get that a lot. I should really open an used gear business, I am good at that stuff. The only problem is that I tend to spend the profits on booze and women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
