Thanks guys.

DVM, as far as scoring killer deals, I'm on good terms with this particular pawnbroker. He's a good guy. I told him my "rule of thumb" being half of "street," but also let him know that I realized this was a VERY clean amp and let him know that my rule of thumb was not an absolute barrier. The $175 price was one he gave me, and I think very fair.

I make a point of going in once or twice a week (this pawn is just a couple blocks from my office), and buying DVD's (they're only $3, after all) to support him in some small way between large purchases, and have also done him some small favors over the years (such as suggesting simple things he could do, like tightening tuning pegs on guitars that are slipping, and one time even pricing an item for him on the fly, when he had some kids interested in something that he hadn't priced yet). He also knows that I have tons of guitars and amps and am thus not "needy" of anything he has, but will buy a good deal.

It's good to know your pawnbroker by his first name.

And of course, it helps to live in a town with a very large land-grant state university, a very large community college that doubles as a satellite campus for a private upper division university, and a thriving music scene. The ratio of musicians to normal people here is through the roof. Makes for much better pawn inventory.

Off to church to try her out! WIll use as my stage monitor and line out to my bigger 1x15 rig (which I can never hear, since it's in front of me and pointed away, towards the congregation)
