mybass Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) SOLD A few years back, touring with my Aguilar pre amp, I had a set of spare valves. At the end of the tour, these valves went "missing", presumed lost in transit. A couple of years later, roadie off the tour presented me with this particular set of valves which I don't think where ever the correct ones for the Aguilar and since the Aguilar was sold a few years ago, have been in storage since. I'll shift them at a reasonable price, which I don't know what it should be per valve because I just am not up on the valve price. The 12 au7 seems to go for between £8 to £25. What should I ask? If anyone has use of them and wants to spend £16 (plus postage) for the 4, I'll post them off. Hopefully there wouldn't be any problems with them and I have no way of testing them but if a Basschatter buys them and finds a faulty one, I can sort re-payment per valve. Anyone capable to advise me on the prices, please do. Edited October 5, 2010 by mybass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real anoracks go on about the shapes of the getters and things like that, as if it really makes a difference that they can hear. £12-16 each is about fair I reckon if there new and branded.

I've priced them to move them out of the box in the garage and I guess ebay may have conjured up a dazzling price. I sometimes figure its easier through Basschat, hopefully someone gets a good deal.
