wise decision?

Well I decided to post my amp up on craigslist to see what I could get for it. Its a Rockford Fosgate Punch 1000-1bd with a birthsheet of 1399wrms@1ohm 14.4v I paid $330 for it brand new in April of 2010.

I had it listed for $350obo and got a bite and I talked with the guy a bit, he is far more knowledgeable about audio than the average craigslist user and we agreed to a sale price of $275.

Do you guys think this is a fair selling price for me? I know I overpaid on it to begin with, even on a best buy employee discount. I personally think I would be hard pressed to find a buyer that would pay more than 275, am I wrong here?

275 for a used 1000 watt punch sounds fair to both parties, if it where in like new condition.

Sounds fair to me. Like you said, most likely wont find another buyer to pay more.

I would give it 8.5-9/10 on cosmetics and 10/10 on functionality. It just has a few scratches on the smooth plastic cover

Sounds like a very nice deal for you as well as him...I would sell,you have a buyer,and most likely best offer

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm supposed to meet him around noon, hopefully he wont back out.

I need to find a replacement amp now

Aq1200?

That would be a downgrade. I need at least 1400rms, possibly up to 2k for the cheap. Looking at an apsm1500, that would leave me with enough to beef up the electrical system.

I just bought a APSM1500 and so far I love it. Barely gets warm and doesnt take up much room. 124 shipped on vminnovations (less with the promo code FACEBOOK though)

Also, im running it on stock electrical (90a alt and stock junk batt) and my voltage stays above 12.5. Only running it at 2 ohms though.

At least I know where I stand as far as the value of the amp.
