Post by Mark Nason »

Local seller has
a Peavey Session 500
a Webb 6-14E
and Peavey PX 300 powered speaker
(plus some PA stuff)
all for $400.

He doesn't know if everything works (belonged to a family member).

Would you roll the dice?

Yes, the Webb alone is worth more even if it needs fixed.

That's an excellent deal.If I didn't already have what would amount to a hoard (if I didn't put everything away neatly) I'd be tempted! ;-)

That's the secret, Dave, putting stuff away. My wife thinks I have only one of everything.

What is your ultimate intention for this gear?

Are you actually going to use it?

Do you intend to turn it over and make a profit?
If so, are you good friends with the seller?

Other?

Not that it matters, but you may want to consider this.

Hey Mark, I used my first Session 500 for about 18 years... great amp, and you're still young enough to lift it into you car :)

No kidding, great deal my friend.

Mark,

You just got the "deal of the century!" Even if nothing works and you have to have it all repaired, you still got a great deal. Make a joyful noise with it!
