What did you pay for it new? When you left the store it was worth 3/4th of that, and at 6 months it was worth 7/8ths of that 3/4ths of the price you paid. After you buy an item, it is worth what you bought it for minus 1/2 the difference between the stores cost and what you paid for it. Let's say the store paid $700 for it, and you paid $1400 for it, then it would be worth $350 less than what you paid, or $1050 the moment it left the store, except as being returned for refund. So, since they list for $2800, then they cost the store about $1150, and since you ask $1700, you're suggesting that you paid $2250 for the amp new, and haven't yet opened the box since you brought it home from the store. However, if the warranty is generous and transferable to the new owner then it's worth 10% more than if it isn't. So, like new condition and 2 and 1/2 years left of a 3 year transferable warranty at $1700... Now it's time to see what stores can sell a new one to you for, and then what their demo and blemish items go for with full warranty coverage. But, if its worth $1700, and not just to yourself, then someone will pay $1700 for it, regardless if they have tended to sell for $1100-$1400 on the norm. So, there are a lot things that can hlp you figure out what the best price to expect to sell or pay for any piece of gear is acceptably within the limits. But, don't get defensive about it, and stick to your guns as I'm not intending to ruffle any feathers here, I just wanted to point out that there is a standard measure for value and depreciation amongst expensive items.

Members bob the dentist Posted July 7, 2006 Members Share Posted July 7, 2006 $1700 is reasonable, it's just that some people might sell it for a little bit less...basically it would only be bad if his neighbor was selling one for $1600 I would be all over this if I actually had the cash right now. Wish I could help you out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paragraph51 Posted July 8, 2006 Members Share Posted July 8, 2006 Consider this one that is going for $1700 described as being New in the Box. Does the amp you are selling compare equally? I'd offer this guy $1500, since they appear to run about $2000 new. http://classifieds.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=classifieds.viewAd&classifiedID=1759595&catID=2&subCatID=16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the $2600 US or Canadian? Nevermind, in whatever currency its value, if it's mint, is about $1706 based on that $2600 figure. You actually priced it fairly, if based on the gross expenses incurred in obtaining it and not simply the amp's net cost of $1860. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Beastly Posted July 8, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 8, 2006 not yet.....but if crunch comes to crunch its the only real offer ive had. theres a possibility it's going to a local guy for 1600 can (no shipping involved), so for 1400 US shipped, i'll definelty have to see this local prospect through.but its damn tempting and im not gonna rule it out just not quite yet at 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
