Bummed out: SV20C on Reverb

[cjs42079]

Gaaah, I woke up this morning and saw a beautiful SV20C newly listed on Reverb, still with tags on it. $788 shipped to my door! I put it in my cart and went to check out and boom it was gone! Which one of you bought it out from under me?? haha

I saw it too. I figured too good to be true.

I had that happen a couple weeks ago on the Guitar Center page. It wasnt an amp but something I really wanted at a killer price.

Was it sold or did the owner pull the listing?

sold :-/

If one sees a deal like that, they better jump on it PRONTO!

What annoys me is that all too often stuff like this is bought up by other sellers, and then they re-sell it at a profit.

Yup shits me too . But I've seen a few guitar sellers on our forum like that so I try not to tell them what wankers I think they are

It’s funny you say that because I saw another one pop up real close to it a few hours later for $1,600….pffft

I just wanna play the damn thing

A lot of dubious cheap listings for SV20s at the moment on reverb , European sellers with no feedback offering cheap shipping to the US. Hope it wasn’t one of them.

A good many years ago I was at a guitar show where I bought a reissue Fender Tube Reverb unit, and while I was talking to the seller a guy walked by and offered him a lower price on it than what he was asking, even though I was standing there with my hand on the thing! I was ready to break his freakin' arm if he touched it!

The seller turned him down, and when he left told me "If you want it, I'll let you have it for what he just offered me. That guy is another seller, and just wants to buy it so's he can re-sell it at a higher price." I told him I wanted it for myself, thanked him, and then paid him. I still have it, sounds awesome though my JMP!

Redemption!!! Scored a mint SV20H on Reverb today for $700. I prefer the head anyway. Saaaweeeeet

 

[Ken Ops]

Doesn’t the C come with a dinky little 10” speaker? SV20 and SC20 do, from memory.. which in my opinion is a dumb choice, of Marshall’s.

If so, you’re better off with the head, for sure. Pairing it with a 2x12? 4x12?

 

[cjs42079]

Yea definitely better off with the head. That was always my preference but that combo price was so low I was willing to go for it.

I’ll plan on trying it through my jcm900 1960B and Origin 212a cabs.

Unfortunately, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Smile: you just saved yourself $788 that you can now spend on more gear! :^)

I stopped flipping gear about 15 years ago. It doesn't make sense now really. I used to make a pretty nice bit of extra cash doing it and I didn't have to try and gouge people. Was always win/win and thats why I stopped. I couldn't give great deals any more. Now when I sell something I price it to sell quickly because I dont want to wait. it's almost impossible now to flip for profit AND give someone a good deal.
