Hey audio-junkies, help me price an amp
I got a Viper 1200.1 monoblock amp that I bought a while back for the Poopra's system. I only used it for a while. I am the second owner of the amp. Many people can vouch for the amps functionality, anyone who ever heard me turn up the stereo in the old Supra heard said amp in action.
Anyway, the bad news is that these amps had these quick-disconnect plugs for easy removal and installation....the thing is, I think I might have left them in the Supra when I sold it while back, because I can't find them. I'm still looking, but our house is in havoc thanks to the recent flooding, so all is disorganized. If I don't find them and can't figure out how to order them, I think I'm partially screwed.
So anyway, before I make the ebay ad, or the FS thread all over the forums, I'd like to know where I should set my goals. I'm posting this here because most of the FS junkies don't venture this far and will probably be none the wiser. So be honest. This is my "MerF's DSLR fundraiser" money here.
CLIFFNOTES: Estimated FS price on a used Viper 1200.1 monoblock amp, and need to know how to reorder connector plugs for it (is this made by DEI?)

You rock. I e-mailed the dude and asked if he would just ship directly to whoever buys my amp...or I'll just buy them and wait to sell. I dunno.
I heart you.
Now....what's it worth? I'm guessing I could hopefully get $350-400?

Re: Hey audio-junkies, help me price an amp
I guess it depends on how much it retails for if still available or how much it cost when new. I searched a bit and cant find any currently for sale. I am 95% sure the line has been discontinued and is now owned by Directed car audio, who now owns like 1/2% of the audio companies out there. I would say a reasonable amount to expect to get for it would be 1/2 of what you paid for it.

I did a google, but there was too much crap to weed thorugh for my lazy ass. There was even a FS thread in dragva archives that showed up. I chuckeld at that.
JUST ADDED THIS INTO THE FUNDRAISING!
So I guess I'm gonna start at $250 with no reserve on eBay, maybe even a Buy it now of $350 just for S&G...

Re: Hey audio-junkies, help me price an amp
Id do buy it now for 400 or so, car audio isnt like computers.. most of the OLD shit is far better then all of the new commercialized crap
I have no idea about Viper, but it seemed somewhat sought after. I wasn't even aware they made audio back then. DEI ruined the audio industry.
Most of the stuff I get is Eclipse, the old soundstream D's, old MMATS.. etc
Image dynamics rocks too.

MMATS is the shit. The Pres of the company (Melbourne florida) was one of my childhood friends' uncle. We had some serious hook-ups as HS kids in rednec county, Florida.
Thanks for the tip. I guess if it doesn't go, I can re-list for less.
