I've been shopping around for the Mesa/Boogie TriAxis and have been comparing prices and here's what I've found:
New: $1500
Used: $950
WTF? These used ones are in good shape and are version 2. Why the dramatic drop in price? I've found a shop that can do a bit of a deal new (shhhh), but I'm sure they can't come close to the used price.
Now I don't expect them to come down to the used price, but still, $550 more for new? That's over 1/3 off for buying a PREMIUM piece of equipment used. I've seen the Recto's and the Mark IV's hold their value much better. And the beauty of the TriAxis is that it can give you Recto, IV, III, tones. Am I missing something? Do the TriAxis' break? Is it just the trend in getting the combo/stack over a rackmount piece of equipment (my guess)?
I like supporting the local shops, but just can't rationalize picking one up new. Anyone want to persuade me to do so?
