I have gas and looking to pick up another amp or guitar or something fun and cool. I didn't see a subforum about sweet deals you guys and gals have run across so I just thought I'd see here if anyone has run across anything that's just "too stupid to NOT buy it".

i was offered a good deal on some hard to find stuff privately and seen a couple good deals on my local CL but I just don't have any money for any of that right now. I sunk a fortune into rebuilding a couple Twins along with speakers, pickups, and pickup swaps in a semi hollow this year. Then I spent 2k at the dentist.getting some gold hardware installed . I'm all spent out for this year which is why the deals keep showing up. I need to put some property tax money together. Dang government.
 
It always seems to work that way for me too. Once I don't have the money anymore, or something comes up and the spending money gets spoken for, then smokin' hot deals come around.
 
There is the "crazy deals alert" thread stickied on the main forum. Looks like a Mark V for $1000 at sweetwater.
 
I recommend following Franklin Guitar Works( Pro tip: used mint = brand new in box from them) on Reverb, Proaudiostar, a few others as well as keeping on eye on obscure stuff that can go under the radar. Black Friday is coming up, but hasn't really been anything amazing the last few years, imo. I would expect that to change this year, tbh. Sales are slow.

Yep. I needed speakers earlier this year. Wanted some JBLs but the ones available online were crazy priced. I bought some new Eminences and an EV Force 12. Couple nights ago someone offered me a killer deal on JBLs and I had to say no. That sucked because it was a really solid deal and those are my favorite all time speakers.
 
My friend found a Peavey Invective 120 for &700 mint
There is a 78 UL Twin on Ausitn CL for 650 that had been fully blackfaced and looked to be in good gigging condition. I thought that was a pretty sweet deal but I have a couple Twins already. Like Matt said, all the deals pop up when yous broke!

Ya . I promised myself I won’t buy anything else until I get my Larry

Also, I would always recommend checking out buying gear from the manufacturer of whatever you're looking for. Or at least comparing. Even if they're the same price as somewhere else, they often won't charge tax/shipping. Some guitar companies will even set up a production model to your wants at no extra cost. Or just set up at all as opposed to drop shipping.

I recently found out that dealing with Fender directly can score you some sweet deals and offers
 
This is a simple amp, it has both the lead and bass circuit. Simple as that...
 
Guy said there’s a volume issue with the 34 but the 6505 is fine. I would have grabbed all of it but alas…no dinero yo…
 
There's an EVH 5150 III 6L6 50 Watt for $549 shipped in the classifieds.......
