I completely agree with Grannyring. I have thought about getting one over the years to try and missed a mint one about a year back because I didn't think it was worth what the seller was asking, which was about $5,500.00 I agree, due to age, my top price would be $4,500.00 also. It isn't worth $8,724.00, just too many other options at that price.
Selling?
I just had an unsolicited offer to buy my CJ 350. He wanted to drive down from the East Coast and pay cash. No price was mentioned. The next day he ask and I told him $6500. I thought this was quite low but I am getting old and have moved into an apt. He was shocked and said that he had seen many for $4000 and one for $3800. Now I have been in audio since 1960 and have a good idea what things are worth. I did not believe this for a minute. Looking on the net I found only one and it was $8724. So if you don't know yourself check with the bluebook before you sell. I told him to buy one of the cheap ones he talked about. So beware of lowballs.

An item is only worth what someone will pay for it. Remember, this was an unsolicited offer! The seller has a right to ask whatever he wants for the CJ 350. If the buyer doesn’t see the value, for whatever reason, no one is going to force him to buy it. Arguing about the current market price doesn’t apply here. |
@tonykay - I think that is the point of my post and that of Grannyring, trying to give the OP an idea of what someone will pay for it. So he had 3 people say what they were willing to pay, which is only to give the OP an idea of what the market will bear for his amp. He of course doesn't have to accept that amount, the final selling price is always a matter of what a buyer or a seller see as the worth of an item. |
Well There's always discrepancy between 'asking' and sold for. I can ask for my Sunfire amp also $8k, but it does not mean I'm going to sell it at that price. To get better idea I'd look for more than just one source the 'sold for' statistics. Even if the units aren't around for the price described there may be the time that they will be listed.
