A Question Regarding my Amp, and the Future of the Free World

Sign in to disble this ad
So, Im in a bit of a situation. I'll soon be moving in with my girlfriend (I practically live there already, rent free) and need to come up with some extra cash. I already have the means to make some extra money, however, in order to do so, I need a new computer.

My idea is, since I hardly ever use my bass rig (I mostly play through my PA these days), to sell my rig off and use the cash to buy myself a computer. If things go well enough with this side job I can make anywhere between $200-$1000 extra income a month, depending on how much effort I want to put into it. I only need to make about an extra $200 a month as it is, though I figure if I put in some extra time, over a few months I can earn enough extra cash to buy myself a new rig.

Anyways, my current rig is a Carvin R1000 & RL410T (the Red Eye 410). I was wondering how much I could possibly sell it for. Its about 4 years old (maybe 5) and still in good condition, maybe a little dusty, but I plan on cleaning it up best I can to make it look nice. I just found someone selling the cab alone on craigslis for $355, though I believe its new price was only about $380 or so...
Any thoughts, opinions, suggestions, flames, and jokes would be appreciated. Thanks,

Matticus

Sell it for $30. To me.
Then you can use that $30 to buy the "Porn laptop" mentioned in the dumb Craigslist ads thread.

Sounds to me like you have a plan. ~350 USD sounds a little high for the cab, but maybe yours will look (and sound) worth that much if you give them a good cleanup. You be the judge.

I was thinking about putting the offer out at $800obo for the pair. $500 for the head, and $300 for the cab, though I would accept a reasonable offer a little lower than that.
