Im gonna be selling my Marshall Mode 4 Guitar amp along with its MF 280 Cab on craigslist. I paid around $2000 for it when i first got it and I barley even play guitar anymore. Its been sitting in my room collecting dust for about 7 months now; I'd love to start playing again but Its impossible for me to get back into it I always end up getting bored of it. Its a great amp with ruffly 30 hours of play on. What do guys think a fair asking price would be?

free to me?
Really not sure man, you might try starting at $1400 or something? Music equipment pricing is usually really hard to do, even amps.

haha I'd kill somebody before I gave this amp away for free.
I know its hard to make prices when it comes to music equipment this is why im asking others what would be a fair price. But Im trying to get the most I can out of this so I can buy some more Dj equipment. I was considering trying to go for 1500-1600. Would any of you guys consider that a fair price range?

I had the smae thing recently with a JCM2000 DSL head. I cleaned it up and said it is barely a month old, and put the price at its origianal price (?650). The guy who ended up buying it paid ?580 for it which is pretty fucking good considering it's a year old.

I actually used to be in a band with some friends but shit when down hill with them. I cant even stand listining to metal anymore it just gets to boring and punks to easy. All I basicly do is listin to psytrance anymore and a guitar does no good in that genere.

The Head is 350 Watts and I have the 280 Watt Cab made for the head piece. Basicly brand new condition, no tears or scratches. Just sits in my room day after day collecting dust.

I would say as high as $1600. The price on music equipment doesn't go down much from new to used.

I'd say sell it for 1400-1600$ then. If it is in mint condition there's no reason to sell it a lot cheaper 
I don't understand why you made the cab for less power than the head can deliver tho.

Your able to change the configuration settings around on the amp. The max wattage for the amp is 350 if you have both cabs but you can also set it up to play at 235 watts for a single cab. Since I only have the 280 watt single cab its perfectly fine and gets pleanty of head room. But if anybody on the shroomery is around the tacoma, WA area and wants to buy it let me know. We can work something out.

I see now, did you have the cab made for you then? Maybe you can try to seel it with that in mind... just say it's a unique piece of craftmanship 
That reminds me I have to start saving for my peter cornish pedalboard... it's expensier than a car

I thought the Mode Four had a solidstate power amp and tube pre amp...I remember I looked at one of those when I was amp shopping, and I decided not to go for it because it was too much wattage and wasn't all tube...I could be wrong. Anyway, I'm happy with my mesa boogie Mark IV and you have a HELL of a lot of amp. I'd reccomend definately trying to sell it all in one package as matched cabs don't tend to fetch much on their own. As far as what to sell it for, I'd say if you have all the documentation for it still and it hasn't really been used, you might be able to get $1700 for the whole thing...

I'd give you $100,000 when I make it big in exchange for that amp now. No lie. Just putting the offer out on the table, peace.
