Is this a good price to buy a used Ampeg SVT-IIP for?

DeltaPhoenix · #1 09-17-2011, 06:03 PM

$200 for it. Supposedly in great shape, almost never used, Just a back-up. I have a chance to get it locally tomorrow. Should I pull the trigger?
Thanks

I'd buy it for that.

Thanks..anybody else?

I have a couple more hours until I meet the guy. Anybody else want to chime in?

I would buy it if it works and doesn't have any problems.

200$ for that amp is a steal, if it's in good running condition that is.. Around here, SVT-IIP's cost about 1400$ new.

Can't go wrong with an all tube Ampeg head, especially at that price.

Cool, I am going to do it (as long as it works).

If it works and is in good condition you would be crazy not to buy that amp at that price. As a matter of fact you are lucky I don't live in the Ville anymore or else I would have tried to figure out where you were meeting up and tried to beat you to that deal.

Yeah this is the Ampeg Preamp, I am not sure if I made that clear. It has 3 tubes. From my research I see that it sells for $300-350, so not a bad deal. If I really like it, I may cut my Eden WT400 loose. If not, I will put it up on the classifieds at a good price that covers shipping.
