Hey guys,
I wanted to apologize to the members and moderators who saw my recent post about trying to figure out what price to sell my matchless amp for. I PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE I was not trying to sell my amp with the post. I know some readers reported it as spam and the moderators agreed. I would like to say, that after reading what I wrote again I would have to agree that it did really look sorta spamish and that I would have probably responded the same way if I was somebody reading something that looks that much like possible spam.
The reason I was SOO detailed and sounding like i was giving a "sales pitch" is because I was looking for an estimate assuming that I am not in a hurry and can be very patient and wait for right price. I was trying NOT to get ballpark general estimates, but instead get a good idea of what the amp generally sells for on the highest end as is usually the case when sold by patient sellers. I felt like if trying to sell the amp for max price, then I would need to be specific on condition, color, customizations, etc. (all info that would be generally not be needed for just an average ballpark price) So I agree, after reading my post again, it was way to descriptive and sounded like i was "trying to sell it".
I am very sorry for the hassle. Please believe I'm 100% right there with you guys on spam. I HATE IT!!!! I will always be the first to report it if I see it and will take care in the future not to be so clueless with my posts.
I can assure you that my amp is NOT for sale yet. I do not know when it will go up for sale. I have to buy another amp first since it's my main gig amp.
I am also sorry to the moderators who got a nasty spirited reply from me last night when I received the warning for my post. I was already in a bitchy mood and was caught so much off guard and I hated to be accused of doing something that I did not do and especially to be accused of spam, something that i hate on such an intense level!!

I hope I didn't piss too many forum goers off with the spam looking post. I hope to continue asking questions and contributing where i can on TGP.

Also, since I really like being a part of TGP and am thankful for the moderators not just simply banning me on the spot and to show that I am definitely planning sticking around TGP and not EVER planning on doing anything to jeopardize my membership I am upgrading my membership to "SILVER SUPPORTING MEMBER"
I know it isn't necessary, but I guess it just one more way that I can try to show everyone that I am not someone you will ever have to worry about being shady on TGP.

Thank you,

I would hope the Mods would allow us one mistake without simply being banned, but I'm sure anyone who was mildly offended would be grateful for this post.

TGP is a cool place with lots of people to learn from.

If this were FDP you'd be banned for this post. Music web sites have weird rules so don't worry about acting naturally.

No lie. I got banned from FDP for mentioning in a super reverb discussion that I had consigned my amp to a local shop. (No details on the amp, no name/location or anything else on the shop.) Compared to that kind of petty tyrant stuff, TGP laissez faire was (and is) a great, adult type of experience.

btw, rule of thumb for matchless combos? go for around $2k on average, in general, etc etc.

Last Chieftain head sold here for 1600 ish IIRC after being listed a few times. A few 2x12 ESD cabs are in the emporium right now listed for 550 to 600 ish.

A general rule of thumb for a used price is to knock 30 percent off of the original retail price.
