Bergantino AE410 value

[TheDutch47]

I found a Bergantino AE410 for sale locally that I could get for $600. The cab works great and sounds amazing, but it's a bit beat up like it was gigged a lot. One top front corner is dented in like it was dropped at some point. The damage doesn't look too bad. It's definitely something I could fix up and have it looking great with a bit of work.
I know Bergantino has a good reputation around here so I'd like to hear some thoughts on this cab and value in todays market.

Seems a fair price for a 410 of the quality of a Bergantino cabinet.

Since it's alittle beat I'd try making a reasonable lower offer. If the seller won't budge, it's still a great cab at a fair price.

In my area there's for sale a Bergantino CN212 cab with a Berg cover, good condition, $600.00 (firm price and no shipping.)

The AE410 is a great sounding cab for sure. It's the super lightweight cabs that are most desirable these days, so since the AE410 at 62 lbs. is not quite in that category you have a little more bargaining power. With the wear you describe I'd say $500 or under is more in the ballpark.

As great as that cab is, that guy is gonna have trouble selling it for more than $300. Heavy 410s just don't command much money these days unless they are absolutely iconic/rare (i.e. Sadowsky SA410).

Did ya get the AE410?

No. I left an offer of $500. We'll see if they accept it after it sits around a while longer.

Last Monday night I did alittle research into used Berg AE410 cabinets. Checked Guitar Center, Musicans Friend, Chicago Music Exchange, Craigslist, ect., ect.
Looks like the average price at brick and mortar stores for used AE410's is around $799.00'ish.

(If I can get Chicago Music Exchange to negotiate price and do alittle trading , I may possibly be making a road trip up to Chicago to pick-up a AE410.)

The only one I've seen for sale online is at guitar center. Musicians friend is the same company and the same exact cabinet for sale. I think they didn't really know how to price it so they compared it to their other Bergantino cab listing. I looked at what had actually sold in the last couple years and they sell for about $600 in very good condition. If $799 was a good deal on that cab, it wouldn't still be sitting there.
