Price Check 60 watt Mark IIC+

[zodiac272]

Hey,
what price range for a 60 watt black tolex short head... original (serial # 140xx) . No reverb No GEQ. No export PT. Clean looking condition. Fairly new tubes

I'm thinking todays market between $1400-$1600. I'd probably offer $1350. Is that crazy?

Any thoughts?

That sounds about right considering it doesn't have reverb or EQ. low would be 1300 high range 1700.
It appears the market price on C+ is climbing again. An curly maple upgraded DRG with 2 matching thiele cabinets just sold for 4500+ the other day.

Wow! And an upgrade at that! That is nuts. Pretty badass looking though.

yeah I saw that... $4995.00 for a private reserve flamed maple short upgraded head and two matching thieles... from chicago. So, 1900 for the head or so, $800 for the hardwood headshell, and 600 each thielle? say $4K invested? sold for 5k - $500 or so to sell it... maybe $500 profit. sounds risky

You must get one hell of a discount on your hardwood quotes.

My AAA flame maple hardwood thieles were $1187.00 each, unloaded in amber stain with wicker grilles. The identical headshell with fan, reverb tank and cables was $1135.00 , and this was in Februrary 2008. Add about $2500 for the original DRG C+ chassis with the Sylvania and Tungsram/RFT tubes, and another $250 for the EVM-12L's. Quite a bit more than $4500.00 , but then again, I did not buy all this with the intention of turning a profit. As the saying goes, "you can't take it with you", so live it up while you can. 8)
