I collect Premier amplifiers, but recently they price has gone through the roof. For instance I own 3 Premier Twin-8 amps. These are sweet little amps that sound great, but are not loud enough to be useful. I am thinking about getting rid of two of them. I bought them for $50 to $75 each and now they go for $1,500 on eBay. I saw a model 76 amp that is “pick-up only” that is cheap. I don’t have a model 76 and I would like to go get it.
The amp is in Manchester PA more than 5 hours away. So I could get the amp cheap with the added cost of 11 hours of gas and time.
I am tempted to do this because I have had both vaccine shots and it would be an interesting trip. I’ve been stuck in the house for a year and this might be fun. My brother will have his second shot in a couple of weeks, and he already had a case of COVID once already, so he could ride right seat on the trip.
The whole thing comes down to the question of whether or not I really need another amplifier and if I can negotiate the amp price even cheaper.
