How to buy used amplifier without surprises
Condition grades, test routines and the questions worth asking any supplier.
What we check before listing
- Cosmetic grading against a written standard, with photos of every flaw
- Functional test with measured values, not adjectives
- Serial number photographed and recorded
- Original accessories and rigging hardware counted
- Power configuration confirmed for your region
What affects the price
- Cosmetic grade: A is typically 55-70% of new, B 40-55%, C 25-40%
- Whether rigging, cases and cables are included
- Matched batches: a set of eight costs more than eight singles
- Service history and remaining spare parts availability
- Freight volume: crating gets cheaper per unit as volume grows
