Peavey Session 500

Jim Underwood · Post by **Jim Underwood** » 3 Dec 2011 7:07 am

A guy in my band bought a Peavey Session 500 at an estate auction. It is in absolutely MINT condition. Has a removable caster frame on the bottom. Someone has already offered him $2000 for it. I know this is very much in demand item. I am asking opinions from you guys about this amp and what would be a good sell price. I may list is on here for him if there is any interest. We both live in VA about 1 hr from the VA/TN state line.

Your bandmate better grab the 2K offered yesterday. Although they are great amps, I don't think you'd expect to get much more than $3-350 for one. Just too dang big & heavy!

He did not sell it for 2000.00?

I've seen them as low as 250.00 plus shipping.

400.00 shipped in lower 48 would be a decent asking price.

$2000 offer for a Session 500? I've never seen one sell for more than $350 mint or not and there are many available. Not a highly sought after amp as they weigh in about 90 lbs.

I think whoever offered him $2000 was just blowing smoke.

He has accidentally put in one to many zeros. Surely he meant to say $200.

I'll sell my Session 400 for $1,600 to whoever offered $2,000 for the 500. That's 80% of $2,000. 80% of a Session 500 = a Session 400, right? It has an almost mint 15", 4 Ohm Peavey JBL. -Jim-

Jim, all joking aside. There are two of these Session 500s on here for sale right now, and they can't even get $250 a peice for them. I love these amps,and I think they are great amps, but they are not in much demand by any means.

THanks for all the responses. I couldnt believe the $2000 offer. All I know is that it was from someone in Nashville that deals in equipment and said that the Session 500 is a high dollar item that steel players are looking for. Didnt really make sense for me. I have checked other listings for the the same amp and those are priced in the neighborhood that I have heard here. If this fairy tale pans out, I will let you guys know. I have a feeling that the "blowing smoke" may be accurate. We'll see. Thanks again for all the comments.
