Sell or save

I have an older Jolida 502 integrated that had some upgrades. I replaced it with another amplifier. Just wondering how many people keep a spare around for just in case. This summer, the new amp needed some work and I was happy to have the spare, but my wife would like to get rid of the extra stuff. I figure the amp is not worth too much (? $400) so would you keep a spare, or put it out there for someone else?

It is heavy, so shipping might be a significant factor in terms of what I could get for it.

Maybe just give it a whirl on the local Craigslist?

If you are not in need of the $$$, I would keep it unless you get a chance for a local sale.  As you say, to package and ship would be costly and always has risk.

I was just going through the same process. Through the never ending upgrade process, I ended up with an extra Parasound Halo Integrated, Mark Levinson 23.5 and Spectral DMC-20. I am on the fence about selling any of them, but I hate having them sit around not fulfilling their destiny of spreading musical sunshine.

I will most likely end up selling the Parasound and Spectral since they are redundant, and keep the ML 23.5 because it is such a sweet amp and it’ll be harder to replace in the future.

Keep it if you can or list it on Audio Asylum. I don't think they charge a fee and get good traffic.
