First up. This is not a PC thread. I am not a supporting member so this isn't me looking for a PC.
I was going through the shed looking for clutter to sell and I came across my old Laney HCM65B which I had when I was first playing out with people at uni.
I replaced the amp because I stuffed it up somehow. I don't know why but it's got a high end choked out crackle coming through the speaker and it's essentially unusable.
Here's a few facts to start off with:
1. This is one thing among about a dozen items I have to sell. I'm time poor and cannot be bothered diagnosing the problem.
2. I'm not able to repair the amp, nor do I have an inclination to try to do so.
Now bearing in mind that second hand I don't think a working HCM65B would fetch me much anyway, I just need to get rid of the damn thing. The catch is that I just simply don't want to give it away because at the end of the day it's a good enclosure and I'm suspicious that there's probably not a lot wrong with it. It will probably take some cluey amp cat about half an hour to fix it. But obviously me taking it to a tech would be overcapitalising because it would cost me more than I could sell it for.
So here's the question. I'm clearly going to outline the problem while trying to sell it. Would a starting price of 60% of what a working 2nd hand unit would go for be a bad place to start? If not, what would be your expectation of a starting price?
I once sold my burnt out Behringer head for $140 so I know people are out there who are keen to recondition almost anything but I really need to not waste time highballing and I also never want to hamstring myself and give someone else a total steal.
