Only one opinion but I would guess the $250 range would be an incredible steal and $300 - $350 would be a solid buy. Love mine.

If he wants more power, I've recently seen a few Shen 60's for $325-$350 (shipped) go unsold on the bay.

Look at the first few entries:

They'll probably come back up for sale if you keep an eye out.

He is holding it for me. I'm going to see it on Sunday and try it out. Hopefully he doesn't sell it out from under me. *fingers crossed*

For me, I like small with some punch. If I need power, both my cousins have Marshall JMC900 100W stacks. I won't even bring my Peavey 110 when they show up.

I was using an ADD Cub as a stage monitor and as good as they are, I couldn't control the feedback at higher volume levels. I finally switched back to the GB Shen Jr which gives me the volume without feedback issues. I run it clean and use effects from a pedal board.

Keep a good lookout over your shoulder, because you are a thief!

Not good, but great! As in you're getting such a good deal that some might say you're stealing it. Take it and run! If you offered a few dozen of these amps on this forum at $170, everyone of them would sell before the day is out.

Well, picked it up Sunday evening. Clean as a whistle. All pots noise free... and WOW, what a sound out of this baby. Full, warm and clear.

Its got the light tan (like an off white) cover with a black control face, non-removeable power cord. So I assume its a couple of years old. Serial #599xx Any ideas on a year?

FYI: The seller said he also has a 65W Kustom Acoustic amp he is looking to sell. Once I get the info, I'll put it in the for sale section.
