I have quite an old, but still very good, Yamaha PA system, split between my house and my parent's house.
My folks want rid of what's at their house and I have no room for it at mine so think it's time to move it on, but I have no idea what to ask for it, so before I possibly drop an ad in the classifieds section could I have some input on what a realistic asking price might be please?
The main components are:
- Yamaha EMX640 powered mixer
- 2 X 15"/horn main speakers
- 2 X 10"/horn speakers, which we used as stage monitors.
I might have a couple of stands for the FOH speakers but they weren't all that sturdy.
All of it is in excellent condition apart from one of the 10" monitors which was purchased as shop soiled as a hot lamp had fallen onto it and melted through the carpet covering. The damage isn't even that terrible but worth mentioning.
We always had many compliments on the sound quality whenever we played a gig, even from sound engineers.
Pictures at the moment will be difficult as it's split between two locations and the stuff I have is tucked away.
If those a bit more clued up on these things can offer advice on a realistic value that'd be great.
Thanks in advance.

I'd be surprised if you'd get more than about £250 for the lot.

Don't think I did too bad in the end and the buyer is a total gent who only lives a few miles away. When he came to collect it he forgot a few bits so I drove them over to his place last night. While it's sad to see it go - lots of fond memories associated with gigging with it - I'm pleased it's gone to a good home.

I should probably do something with the pair of giant 1970s Peavey PA cabs in my store room, but they're worth absolutely nothing to sell and too cool to just bin... I was hoping to use them at an outdoor gig this summer, but that's obviously a non-starter now.

I was half-tempted to upgrade them with some modern high-power neodymium drivers, but they'd still be huge and weigh nearly 90lb, so it would be throwing good money after bad really. But they don't actually owe me anything simply sitting there - I acquired them for free when a friend was taking them to the dump and asked if I wanted them, and for some stupid reason I couldn't resist...
