Crazy Craigslist deal
Posted: Mon Nov 01, 2010 5:04 am
This has to be the best deal I have ever gotten on Craigslist bar none...And I have gotten quite a few killer deals.
It was all PA gear and I paid 350 for it all total:
Mackie cfx12 mixer with effects
Alesis studio 24 mixer
2 JBL JRX 1x12 monitors
2 PAS PR12M 12" monitors
2 Yamaha S115IV main speakers
Alesis midiverb
40" tall rolling rack case
AB international 400 series power amp (these are used by VERY high end audiophile and theatre companies. Some of these amps are even installed at places like Pixar and Skywalker ranch although likely louder models)
Samson S500 power amp
I got it all from a church that was moving and getting rid of equipment.
Best I can tell, the new price for this gear would be roughly 5K or so. Even if I were to flip the stuff quick, I could proabably get over 1K out of it all in a matter of hours.... Crazy.
I am not going to flip it all though. I am keeping the speakers, the rack, and the midiverb. I will am going to sell the Alesis, the mackie and the 2 amps. I am then going to tae that money and orde a set of subs, a behringer xenyx 2442 mixer, and a couple power amps.
All in all I will basicly end up with a 4-5000 watt PA with 4 monitors, 2 mains, 2 subs, 24 channel 4 bus board, for around 6-700 after I sell the stuff I am not going to use. Time to start doing sound gigs again.
