somebody offered me 1500 for my coliseum

[Holy-diver]

What do I do?

 

[ACShreds]

tell them you want 2000

 

[edgeofdarkness]

Keep the amp, weren't they going for $1800 not too long ago ?

 

[ke2]

I don`t think I`d ever sell it, it`s not going to be less desireable when the years fly by.

 

[Holy-diver]

Idk what to do. I think I am going to keep it, but its not as practical as a v or a roadster....

 

[glpg80]

id tell them 1850 and you've got a deal - especially if you dont use it.

gear is gear

 

[Ancient Alien]

If you don't LOVE the amp, sell it and get something you want.
If you gel with the amp real well, keep it.
It's only an amp

 

[droptrd]

I thought thats what they went for? No?

 

[Holy-diver]

i do really like it, but i am lacking versatility in a easy to use setup that something like a mark v or a roadster would give me...

I see them sell for 600-800 all the time, yes the Coli, not the regular Mark IIIs. If I were you I would dump it and buy another when one comes up for sale, use the extra cash for pedals, stippers and blow.

I don't think they even made 100 of those, and you see them for 600-800 all the time? That's interesting. Post the next one you see, I'd love to pick up another Mark III Coli for $600!

They're common, I know of two for sale right now but they are overseas and someone at TGP picked one up last May for like 750 dollars. I think there is still one listed on the used section of the Guitar Center website but the search on that site sucks so I dont have a link. I am talking about the Coliseum Mark III not the regular ones either. Someone had a Mark IIB Coliseum for sale for 1500 recently as well.

Aloha Pete,

They actually made approximately 200 of the MKIII Coliseum model. I have the 13th one made... Got it new back in 1986 and LOVE it.

I knew you'd post on this! Even 200 made... makes these pretty rare IMHO. If I had the bucks and saw one going for $600, I'd leap on it.

Yup, I think it's one of my all time favorite amps. Not all of them have the Simul-Class option, and the MKII Coli sounds VERY different than the MKIII Coli.

 

[Hard&Heavy]

I just picked up a blue stripe coli this summer and I also checked with boogie as well as a friend of mine who also has one and they said that there are only about 200 made.

I would keep it.
