fatwull Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Typical thing happened to me again, I had my cab on here and had no buyers so put it on ebay, it sold for a lot less that i hoped but it's gone, 2 days later a guy emails me to ask if it's still for sale, he's offering 75 quid more than i sold it for.....THEN..I get a brand new Mesa Subway delivered and the same afternoon there is one on here £140 cheaper..!! This must be a common thing but it's a bit frustrating when you need every pound to go towards GAS Forgot to add, my cab left for it's new owner in the morning and the mesa arrived that afternoon...happy/sad/frustrated...

TheGreek Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 You are not alone - has happened to me several times - I sold my Jaydee Mk11 for £650 after months of no interest and successive price drops- within a month I had two calls from would be buyers offering me £1K. I know what my gear is worth so I'm loathe to drop the prices - I'd rather wait and get a fair price rather than get a quick sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatwull Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Unfortunately I bought an Eden d 4 x 10 XST and made a schoolboy error of not noticing the weight...96lbs...!! just happy to see it gone but now cabless, not sure what the new Mesa Subway will be good with but looking at barefaced Super Twin or Berg CN212 which are both 4 ohm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 You probably did better than commissioning it at a shop. Is your new Mesa valve or solid state? Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taunton-hobbit Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I refuse to add up the amount of money I've spent/lost on gear over the last fifty years.

thebassist Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I've been after an Aguilar SL112 for a while now and am planning to go into a music store later today because nothing's come up here. Hoping one continues to not come up after I've spent £655. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
