I need some guidence here guys.
I found an amp in the local swap shop, its a rodek ra2150 its got some scuffs from normal use(i guess)
The shop is asking 360.00 canadian dollars for it. Does that seem fair?
I know there good quality but .....
Does anyone happen to know what the retail of this amp was?
59 veiws no help............... patience in not an option
$360 seems like quite a bit for all but the very best amps if used enough to have scuffs on it.
sh*t, you can get 'new' $1000 amps on ebay for that price.

For those interested, here is a link to some of the history of Rodek amps: https://members.shaw.ca/pferlow/rodek.htm
ex:
The designer of the Rodek car audio amplifiers at that time was a Mr. Steven Mantz who runs his own company, ZED Audio which is apparently an OE contract manufacturer for other large companies such as JL Audio, Hifonics, Lanzar, etc. ZED AUDIO is alive and well, in California.
Steven Mantz also did amplifier development and design in the early 90's for Hifonics, Crunch, Autotek (current mean machine series I believe) and Rodek car audio amplifiers. Back in those days he was very popular and somewhat famous in Europe, especially Germany. There were a few car audio/hifi magazines at the time who Steven apparently developed test criteria for testing various car audio equipment.
Hifonics "X" Series was designed by him, the circuit boards bear his "ZED AUDIO" name. After that he designed amplifiers for ESX which were only available in the USA in 1998. ESX are now marketed by www.audiodesign.de (a Hifonics company). These amps are now made by Calcell in Korea but still have the "ZED AUDIO" marking on the circuit boards.
