Suggestions welcome!

I decided I’m going to sell my Peavey XXL and the Line 6 2x12 that I’ve dragged up and down the east coast for 20 years and have served me very, very well, considering it was bought as a temporary head/cab and has stuck around longer than any other amp I’ve owned. It’s been the backup amp for whichever local scene I was in at the time, often residing in my ex’s trunk for months at a time.

This obviously isn’t amazeballs gear and I’m not looking to get top dollar for it by any means, the last time I plugged the head in the volume was jumping up and down and needed a good whack to settle it down. I’d maybe expect $250, absolute tops for both, but I’d really prefer this little rig gets in the hands of a teenager who is dying to play in a band but needs an amp to do so, in which case I’ll take 50% off the asking price.

I need some suggestions on how to list the ad, I get a little leery around the idea of “If you’re under 18, send me proof and I’ll hook you up!”

Any place around that does lessons? You could check with them and see if they have any students who need a good deal on the amp, and they can help broker a safe deal?

Great question! I was thinking about something similar for my old Agile and CV guitars I want to part ways with. I would happily give them away to a couple of youngsters in need who would appreciate them, but I can't figure out how to find those people without attracting flippers and worse scum.

I thought about asking at my favorite local guitar shop that offers lessons (got my first guitar and lesson there back in the late 1700's! Ok maybe a bit later than that) but I don't want to steal a sale from them either.

Not a bad idea actually, I need to see if the School Of Rock is still down here. Thanks!!
