Think you got it backwards sonny. Karen's are also ignorant about things like that.

HA! This! I've been looking at 90's dirt bikes (I'm 45, almost 46) and it's just hits me in the heart nostalgia wise! If I had closer places to ride, I'd have a garage full of them. LOLNo doubt. You seen the price of a used 80's-90's dirt bike these days? crazy out there. Everyone's bored and looking for hobbies.
Still don’t agree. I don’t think anyone who wants a new Mark V is saying to themselves “hmm, well, I can’t find a new one so instead I’ll buy a Mark III for the same price.” They are different amps even though they are Marks. People want a Mark III because that’s the amp they want.Let me direct you to sentence 2 of my statement....specifically the first couple of words in that sentence.
A Mark V could not be more different than a III!!! Opposite ends of the spectrum IMO. One is like an old Ferrari, the other a Mercedes-Benz. Both great, but one is straight-up raw muscle the other pure class with many frills. Both great.Still don’t agree.

Sort of agree except I really think the mark v comes up short and doesn’t have great feel or special tone. I’ve tried owning it twice and it just doesn’t stack up to any of the older amps in the seriesA Mark V could not be more different than a III!!! Opposite ends of the spectrum IMO.

I agree with what you are saying but what you are saying isn't at all what I was saying. I was making a general point on pricing in this season on anything. Lack of new items has driven up used prices in addition to fees at various places increasing. Everything is shifting upwards. I doubt you will see used products going for new prices or more when inventory becomes plentiful.Still don’t agree.

Supply and demand, I agree...but even if new supply starts showing up the used prices will stay higher unless that used inventory gets to where it was pre Covid. GC, I could look under used Marshall and there were 800 items. Now less than 150.I agree with what you are saying but what you are saying isn't at all what I was saying.

Interesting point. I will say this: Their might be other reasons people hold unto to items that you aren't thinking of. Here's mine:Just speaking for myself, I have never saw the point in holding onto gear you don't use. I don't collect gear, see no point in having tons of amps/guitars just laying around unused and I use everything I have. I would personally sell it and get something you would use more.
dittoI think part of why they are selling so high is cause there are a lot of good clips out there of Marks right now on youtube etc... A couple years ago there wasn't many good detailed vids of them.
thats a valid point for sure. part of the reason i've owned over 100 amps in my day (besides obsession) is because for decades you weren't able to go on you tube and watch someone run through the settings with a good mic, and what not. You had to buy one used, hope it was in working order, jam on it for a while, then resell it if you we're feeling it. hopefully not loose your ass on that.I think part of why they are selling so high is cause there are a lot of good clips out there of Marks right now on youtube etc...

even since this thread started, i feel like the prices spiked even more.
JimAnsell, do you know what are the differences between the Mark IVa and IVb are??
