Have an opportunity to buy 2 of these beasts locally. Cosmetics are good based on the photos. A few heat sink find on one of the amps are slightly bent, but in the back so not noticeabe. Looking to keep one and sell the other. I think $1200 is a good deal for these. Looking for other feedback.

    I did offer $1k and he refused. Firm at $1200. I like them however will probably pass unless he comes down to $1k or so. Thanks.

    When he comes back to accept your 1K offer, offer him $800.00.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    There's better bang for the buck right here on the forum. That Carver in our for sale section had my attention until I just decided to quit shucking n jivin' and but buy a real amp that had no hours on it...if that's not an option..the Carver here looks very nice. Plus you know when you deal with a fellow polkie you can trust the product to be legit. At least all of my dealings here have been nothing but GREAT!

    FYI. The guy is down to $1000 for the pair. I had some challenges trying to arrange a time and the guy blew up at me on Facebook...a few F-bom's were thrown my way. I decided NOT to deal with him.
