Some Ebay Sellers! Jeesh!

1981 Marshall JCM 800 2203 | eBay

this is an original 2203 from 81.

He's asking ONLY $2500 for it! I have bought and sold more of these than I care to admit and never paid more than $1000 (all in the last 2-3 years, too).......all vertical input models. I could see maybe $1100 or maybe even $1200 in the right condition, but over 2 grand

I told him so, and probably pissed him off, but oh well, I had to say something. He thinks the right buyer will come along, and he maybe right, but damn... what a fool if anybody pays that for one of these heads. They are not rare, not by a stretch.

discuss, please

Disgusting...

 

[Blacque Jacque]

Ebay is full of sellers who either:
1. haven't the faintest clue what their item is worth
2. Know exactly what it's worth & are trying to sucker an unwitting buyer.

Or are husbands trying to convince their wives they're really trying to get rid of that extra amp they don't need... but setting the price so high so they can hold on to it.

Not Bad!! Haven't been in here for awhile, but I'm still rocking a few marshalls including the 2203 and 6100! Anything changed in here?

(Bieling3) Not a bad plan, setting the price high, and blaming the economy on why the amp won't sell! I need to try that on my wife.

Bad thing is, I would like to buy that 2203 But not for that price, here's hoping

I don't need another one though, seriously. That is my sickness talking again.

 

[ironlung40]

BTW........no offense intended if it is any of you guys in here. I apologize if I have offended anyone. Not trying to be a four letter word, not at all.

It must have the Slash toanz built in!

 

[MartyStrat54]

Starting bid is $2250 and "Buy It Now" is $2500. That's fuckin' funny.

He should have made the starting bid $2500 and the BIN $2500. Then he wouldn't screw himself. Right?

Lol, fuck that guy man there are zero bids it will never sell lol...

 

[ironlung40]

Yeah, I told him it would not sell, and of course I probably made him mad, but he was nice about it, so he's probably a nice guy, but I just had to say something, because I've been a member in this forum long enough, and I've owned and sold enough 800 amps to know what they sale for.

I hear ya Marty, the BIN and starting bid really don't make much sense, I guess he thinks that someone may be afraid they will lose it if they don't just buy it now.

This is a distinct possibility as well imo, I agree.

 

[Ayrton]

I see JMP and 800s sell for under $1,000 all the time. I always get a chuckle when I see ebay ads like that.

 

[jcmjmp]

I'll sell mine for 5K to whomever is interested. It is a rare 1983 model, with vertical inputs, Canadian edition. It sounds better than any of MichaelRT's amp too.

For an extra 25.00, I'll cryo treat it for that extra tone.

 

[impetus maximus]

wow. i bought my 89 2204 about ten years ago. paid $400. granted i had to
have a tech take out the botched hot rod mod and swap the 6L6's for EL34's

i'd be willing to part with it for $4999.95

 

[Salsg]

I'll sell my 1992 Blue Tolex for only $9999.99.

 

[Blisster]

shit you can buy one from Guitar Center Used fopr less than that, and be able to return it with little to no hassle!

 

[redscott131]

For more overpriced fun look at this wanker.....................Limited Edition Marshall DSL 100


I guess this is what happens when it has been "stored in a humidity-controlled room." HA!

He probably couldn't care less about your opinion imho.
