Randall RG200ES Amp Head 1991

[MattJCNJ]

Hi everyone
This is my first post. I am a hoarder, tinkerer, collector of all things HiFi and vintage electronics.
I came accross a Randall RG200ES manufactured in 1991 at an yard sale about a year ago. So after cleaning it up and making sure it works I couldn't find much information about it on the web. The main reason I'm posting here is I just had a baby and the gf and I are moving and I have to downsize my hoard.

Is this an amplifier head that I should post on ebay to reach musicians or someone that will appreciate it?
1991 was the year it was made. Does the year garner a negitive or positive effect on quality of this amp?

Thanks for any responses, details and direction.

That is a desirable solid state amp, that has a loose connection with Dimebag Darrel from Pantera fame. It should sell rather quickly, but not a really expensive amp, but a really cool metal amp. I have an RG-80 Randall, and a few other guys here have them as well. Great amps for the money. I might suggest using a site called Reverb, which deals in an auction like setting similar to eBay, but 3.5 % final fee, instead of 10% like eBay charges. Not a whole lot were made, so people are looking for them. Welcome to the site, and best of luck with the sale.

Check out ebay completed listings, and see what the last couple sold for to get an idea how much they are worth. That's what most retailers go by if you want to trade it in, they give you 60% of what the ebay sold listings are. Not that you want to trade it in.

The RG200es was made very limited by Randall USA before the name of the amp line was changed to Century, which Dime used extensively. A year or two later Randall eliminated the low input jack and it was renamed the Century 200II, Dime used those as well. All three are essentially the same amp and they all sound alike. Great amps for metal. My Century is my one amp I'll never sell. There are some pics from years back of Dimes amp storage that shows pics of all his old Randalls he used. Rg200, Century 200 1&2 included. Basically you have a pretty dang rare old Randall that might be worth a good bit to a Dime fan. Depending on condition that is.

Thank you all for responding.
I stepped into a new dimension thanks for all the information. The best option for selling this amp seems to be Reverb. I'm still going over the fine print and trying to find a comparative sold item to list a price. If you know anyone around NYC who would want the amp let me know.
-Thanks again!

pics?

This photo is an older one. I have cleaned it up alot since.

Here are some more pics that were requested. Besides the corners and the powercable needing a little tightening up the amp is very good condition. More importantly it works as well.
For a 26 year old RG200ES this one is in pretty good condition right?

I got an Rg 200 ES that has a carpeted case.....anyone know about that? Someone probably just changed it themselves.

I just flipped a century ii. Great amp. I almost kept it.
