$110 is a steal.
I was kinda wondering that too. Other than getting a vibe from the seller, any way to check that out? I definitely do not want to buy a stolen amp.In fact that's so much of a steal I wonder if it might be hot... as in stolen.
That's way too low for a working Classic 30.
I had a Classic 50 head and it sounded good... I played a Classic 30 at NAMM several years ago and it sounded wonderful.

Absolute steal if working. Jump on that if it turns out to be legit. I would want to play it and make sure.$110 - if it is working condition - is beyond a steal. $200 is a steal.
Very solid and good sounding amps.
Ha ha, quite the contrary. He was a 40-something lawer-ish type living in a McMansion on a couple acres of wooded land in rural Maryland. When I pulled into is driveway, there was a kid's trampoline in the yard and a golf cart in the driveway. He and his 10-12 year old daughter were in the garage waiting for me, with the amp on and a vintage PRS CE-24 plugged in. He let me use that to make sure everything worked OK. I don't think he was selling hot amps for $100 to make side money.Was the seller wearing prison stripes? :zoinks:

When I asked him how long he had it, he had a hard time remembering exactly how many years when his daughter chimed in with "before I was born". He said was selling it because he's trying to "get rid of clutter around the house", and that he hasn't used it in years. Now he just plays through Amplitube with headphones since he has young kids and doesn't want to make a lot of noise. I can relate to that, I almost sold my twin reverb for a stupid low price many years ago when my kids were that age. I realized the error of my potential ways before I did though.
As far as the amp goes, there's not a scratch on it, obviously never gigged. It still has a sticker on the back with his previous address when he lived in a different town, so I believe he's had it a while.
Anybody know how to tell the age from the serial number?
