How much would you sell a B-52 cab and head for?

I have a B-52 cab and head, about 15 years old. I believe it's 4x12 and 150 watt, but I can't recall for sure. It has not a scratch and worked perfectly last time I used it. I lost the power cord the last time we moved, so factoring that in, and assuming it still works fine, what should I ask for to sell it?

I'll post a pic shortly if that helps.

There are three of those heads on Reverb.com right now ranging from $99 to $125. The most recent of the three to be posted was 17 days ago, the other two a few months ago. So they're not flying offline even at those prices.

The 4x12s like yours are priced at $105 with a "local pickup" stipulation (it would probably cost that much just to ship it with any carrier); and another at over $200. Ad post dates are over one year and five months respectively.

If it were mine, I'd post on CL to avoid shipping costs and hassles, and I'd probably be open to trade offers because in my experience it's easier to get a $200-300 guitar in trade and turn it than it is to have a $200 halfstack package and turn it. Most players just don't want amps that big anymore, regardless of price point.

Awesome info, thanks. Yea, I'm OK with a trade, so if that is the better deal, I'll look into it.

Would you throw it up there for $250/obo with trades on the table, or would that price turn people off?

I think that's a very fair pitch for your ad.
