How much is my amp worth?

Considering selling my valve amp as I rarely use it - but i've no idea of the value! It's Hayden Essex Blonde 15, there's a serial number on the back that means naff all to me :P

    Looks like one sold on the BassChat forum earlier this year at £250.

  • Do a search on eBay and click on the "advanced" tab.  Check out what recent sales have achieved.  As good an indicator as any.

    Hayden/Ashdown never fetch decent money. Shame as they are good amps and often built by Dave at Matamp. I struggled to sell a hand wired AC30 based combo that was owned by Embrace.

    You probably shouldn't have mentioned that in the ad...

    Given it's not worth much and going to be a bugger to sell I might as well hang on to it. The cat has helped to modify it by ripping the badge of the front too!

    I'm not familiar with the model, but as said Hayden for some reason don't command decent second hand values.

    Some of the reviews weren't that flattering about build quality when Hayden first appeared but I've had a couple of Petite 2s and a Petite 5 and they are really well made (the Petite 2s were all point to point wired, the Petite 5 on turret board) and sound excellent considering what they cost me.
