Members El Puppetto Posted August 14, 2006 Members Share Posted August 14, 2006 Originally posted by saxamafone ok so i finally tracked down a new 6505 in a store to go try out. wasn't as impressed by it as i thought i would be but i know playing a tube amp at low vol with crappy tubes usually doesn't impress anyone. anyways the guy in the store starts coming up to me bashing gibson and mesa while raving about peavey. the price tag on the 6505 was $2500 [that's 1,916.64 USD!!] i said i saw these amps for $1600 when they first came out as 6505's he said no one will do that price but if i pay cash he could do me a GREAT deal his great deal is $2100 cash [1,610.30 USD] fukin australia!! get fukt!! i have no sympathy for a struggling music store over here, lower your prices and u might sell some {censored}!! I got in just before the price rise, and I'm getting my head for about $1550 AUS. Kosmic did wonders of a deal, the guy who I'm going through is a champ. Btw, check www.guitar.com.au Maybe you could get them to price match it? That's what I did, but then Kosmic went ahead and beat that price (when it used to be cheaper).Unfortunately, they've been out of stock that mines been ordered for 2 months or something, and I got a call saying it's come in today! So I'm off to pick it up tomorrow Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members uz3r Posted August 14, 2006 Members Share Posted August 14, 2006 Aussies get farked up the ass with guitar gear prices. I really wanted a Dual Recto, but when I found out its nearly impossible to buy one for under $4400 in Australia, I had to look at other options. So I went looking and I got quoted $2900 for a 6505+ which was my next choice. Thats still a totally bullsh!t price. In the end I just recently purchased a 2nd hand 5150II for $1800, it was in mint condition but still, thats expensive for a 2nd hand amp. I got laughed at by some of the US guys here when they found out i paid that for a second hand amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members El Puppetto Posted August 14, 2006 Members Share Posted August 14, 2006 bad luck dude Looks like I get one helluva deal though. I was dead set on the 6505 being the melodic death fan I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
