Help with retail prices of US AMPS

[sunspot 10+ year member]

A local store near by received New Old stock US amps. The dealer doesnt have any invoices of what he paid(or he couldnt find them).

Anyone interested and know the value of the following. All amps are in chrome with the glass bottom.

US Amps

usa-600

usa-1000

Merlin - 2130(has about 6 of these)

Usa-150x

I wanted to buy the lot right then and there. Anyone have any idea what I should offer for each. If anyone is interested in any amps let me know as well. My main interest is one 4 channel merlin and the usa 600

thanks

If it's a dumb pawn shop tell the guy that they're not worth very much since they're so old. Hopefully they don't do too much research.

Car stereo place actually. But he isnt a authorized us amp dealer which I brought up. I offered him $200 for the usa-600 yesterday. His reply was "thats not a $200 amp."

come some of you vets must know. These amps are still sitting there this whole past week. I want to try and get a deal on all them, anyone interested can as well.

I just want to get a basic idea of what I should offer, dont want to lowball him.

You guys think these amps are still good, or is US amp crap?

Also noticed he had a usa-100 in the store today.

offer him $1200 for the lot, he probably wont take it but its a start. they are worth more than that used. those all new back then probably would sell for around 5k bro. U.S. amps from the 90s are great. gl with that. if its a stereo shop im sure he has a preeeettty good idea on what he has there.

Ok thanks for your input. I'm going back today to take pictures(seems like no believes me on the other forums). I figured since these are all new they would go for a little bit more than the used ones on ebay.

Im curious.

If he's not a US Amps dealer, how did he end up with so much old US Amps inventory?

Did someone cut him a deal off the back of a truck?
