I wonder how many mark ivs we will see on the bay....

[Sebby123]

Ha everyone with a iv will at one point look into getting a V i know i am im just going to wait for the people that take the first plunge... if it doesnt blow away the mark iv then ill just buy one in due time but if it blows it out of the water i might have to join the rest and sell my iv on the bay

Well since ship date is not suppose to be till Febuary and alot of people will wait to hear what they sound like, then wait for the second run, I dont picture to many IV's going on the bay just yet, maybe a little more then average. But even with that, you will still have the people that cant afford to sell there IV for $1200 to $1400 and then have to put out an extra $800 to $1100 for the Mark V.

Have to remember when calculating price, take into consideration ebay and pay pal fee's when selling your old, and then factor in Tax on a new amp. So unless such person has an extra $800 to $1100 or possibly even more, i am not sure you will see that many people selling off just yet.

I could afford to do that, and I've considered it, but my m4 is my main gigging amp. I'll probably just wait and save...

I dont mind dishing out the money if its worth it but for now im happy with iv

 

[HappyStrat]

Not Mine!!!!!!!

Ditto on that. I keepin' the MKIV & RK in my arsenal even if the MKV covers MKIV territory. After the smoke clears, I will certainly be pushing a button on the MKV. :wink:

 

[Boogie Woogie Man]

Well the IV didn't entice me from my MKIII so I doubt the V will either.

Mark IIs and IIIs may not fall that far due to scarcity. Mark IVs on the other hand are in huge supply, so I could see prices falling a bit. Still, even $1,000 to $1,200 for a Mark IV would be a steal!

 

[Sebby123]

Id rather buy a III and run in stereo with my iv then buy a V
The greatest mono rig...
Or a amazing stereo rig hmmm...

 

[Tyrant]

Why not a IV and a V?

 

[theroan]

I don't think that Mark IV's are going to drop that much. As usual there are still going to be people who:
1) Want to hang on to it even if the Mark V kicks ***
2) Don't think that the Mark V is as good
3) Can't afford the upgrade
4) Regardless of how well the Mark V does, there will always be a market for the Mark IV, it's still a great amp. It has value independent of the Mark V/
5) We've known that the Mark V has been in development since 2006 or earlier. Markets usually predict rather than react. My feeling is that the price drop has already occured. A lot IV's were going for $2000 OR MORE, now they seem to have balanced out to around $1300 - $1700 varying depending on condition.

So if you're IV is good condition then I still think you'll be able to fetch around $1500 for it.

IMHO

Why not a IIC+? That sounds like a better plan ha!

 

[Sebby123]

Just kidding but i cant afford to keep my iv and buy a V i rather buy a three and if i was to spend 2$ G's i would go for a IIC+
