Got a local wanting to trade a amp and sub and a set of mids for my bnib sun5k. His offer is a 2 month old "he has papers to verify purchase from Zed" a LEVIATHAN 3 with all papers and such and 1 9515i fresh recone from DD seen zero power since it showed up to his door. Lastly a BNIB pair of DDA-W6.5 which is nice but would require me to buy another set as I have quad 6.5's in door. I am in need of a new 4 channel as I sold my DB and since my 10's were stolen I do need a sub and I have never used a 15 and always wanted to give the DDa's a shot just could never afford 2 sets so I am interested but want thoughts... Power wise I have 2 skar2500's to power sub so the Sun5k was an impulsive buy cause the price was soooooo low "bought from dealer".. Thoughts??????

 
Zed - $550 seems avg for used...

9515 - $350ish range seems avg....

DDAW6's - $230 for the pair seems fair to me. Being I have to buy a second set..

So lets say 1100 in value. The thing is he called me about my amp I didn't not advertise it FS locally so he is the one in desperate need of amp. I on the other hand would like to play with he's stuff but I really have no use for them at this point in my life.. Get what I am saying? Not trying to be a dank or anything but if deal does happen I want to be 100% sure I come out on top of the deal. I have no use for his stuff really other then interest and I have no use for my 5k so as far as I care it can sit there forever. He's the one hurting for amp so sometimes you gotta bite bullet and pay up for what you want. I mean if it was cash offer that's different but being its a trade for stuff I really never had plans on buying and he ends up with the amp he wants I feel I should at least get near the retail price plus get a good discount on his stuff.. Maybe selfish but some will get what I am saying

9515i.s are in the 500-550 range used..the i series is supposed ti be leaps and bounds above previous 95series ..the gs and lower go for 325-375..and i highly doubt u gave over a grand for the saz5k ..so if it were me id go for it

LOL I paid the amount the amp is really worth. Amp was dealer bought so to tell price would not benifit me but more importantly the dealer at a min would get a call from the wigs of Sundown or they could just remove him as a dealer for there products which would lose him money an customers not to mention the effect it could have on his business being able to stay open. So what I paid was retail and that's my story.... As far as the 95i I searched an 500 seemed to be avg price but being it has been reconed I am not sure how that effects its value.

 
If you have no use for it then just skip. Playing with stuff is fun but not when you are taking a slight loss. Think about when you need to sell the stuff you just got, shipping is gonna be expensive each shipped individually vs your single Sundown 5k.

Local no ship... I have 5mono amps as is. Only really used 2 of them so far as sub amps I'm surrounded by them daily. Can't help but notice the nendos an the 5k every time I open closet to get clothes. Don't see the skars much as they are my main amps an being I have had zero issues with them. 2 years+ of daily service without any issue is the main reason I still own an choose to run. Bought nendos like 2-4 months ago from local mate at mate rates. Pulled skars tossed in nendos with no other changes and the bc2ks are nice for sure but just could not keep up with or surpass the skars in any catagory. I know the n's are 2k rated while the skars are rated at 2.5k so yea the skars should be better as they are just didn't expect the massive difference I experienced. So do I need amps lol naw but a 9515 interest me as I have never ran a 15. Plus its a DD and other then there 2500 series I have never used there higher end lines. Don't really care for the 6.5's as I am happy with current ones and I don't want to have to pay $300 for a second set as I run quad FD 6's. The Zed interest me due to there rep an attention to quality and building some of the best amps to date. Don't need 6channel a 4 would be optimal but that's not in the offer.
