Lew-Bass Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 A simple question really; what is roughly the general rule for resale value on cabs/amps? (Used gear price = [b]??[/b]% of new gear price) Just useful to know roughly when scouring the web for potential gear Quote
nash Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 there isnt a formula really. just see if there are any of what you want on ebay completed listings and work it out from there. Quote

From what I've seen and what I morally think is a fair price, it seems to be around 60% of new price? Quote
chris_b Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 The questions are : How old? What condition? Wear and tear? How much are they new? Are they common? How much does he want? What's everyone else charging? How much will you pay? How badly do you want it? Quote

If the market is flooded with what you're trying to sell (or buy) then you may only see 40% of the RRP, but if it's a relatively new product then you may see as much as 80%. If you're talking about vintage or discontinued/rare gear then you may even see a return of anything from 100% to 500%+. It really does depend on what it is you're selling and the condition it's in.

nash Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 the biggest factor is, is it in fashion take for example the big muffs. the black russian goes for more used than the US pi even though the US pi cost more new Quote
Lew-Bass Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 Very good points mentioned above, sorry when I wrote this in mind I had an idea of a current item, in VGC. Pretty standard fare really Quote
