Yeah I saw this one on taflan.org. Im working on getting the price lower . I need your people's help on this one. Its a peavey 5150, made in 1995, the dude said it wasn't played that much (don't they all say that?), gigged 12 times and used in studio for recordings. Tubes are less than year old. I have yet to check the amp itself out, will prolly do it tomorrow. So list price on a 6505 in Iceland is 135.000 kr. The guy wants 100.000 kr for it but I can feel he is eager to get rid of it. So how much can I kick the price down on the unit? P.S., it's a US market model (110 V supply), so I assume he bought it in US, where prices are lower. P.P.S., 135.000 kr= 2250 USD. Ouch 100.000 kr= 1666 USD. Seeing these prices I think that I´d be better off buying it of eGay or sum but I have not perfect experience of buying amps from net. I also hope that I can drop the price a bit. The list price for a 6505 unit is 1350 $. Delivery would be 150$ or something, and ill have to pay 25 % customs. That would make it around : 1875 USD new. What do you people think?

You know amp's count as musical instruments so I don't think you have to pay any customs of them at all.

No you pretty much have to pay 24.5 % on everything that comes from outside, unless its so piss cheap that the customs office doesnt bother. Its called VSK. I had to pay tax for a set of pickup rings I ordered for 20$ or so. Fucking capitalists.

Haha yeah it's stupid shit.. but I am positive there are some tolls that fall down, it would cost more if it were signed as stereo speakers.

yeah i could. The problem is that Iceland has customs officers in the airport. They usually scan the crowd for people carrying big objects, like laptops. My friend bought a lap in russia, and he managed to get it in here on first trip, but on second one he got busted and had to pay a big lot (customs on laps are over 50% i think). So I think it may not be worth it Also im not sure if i could be bothered to, im so damn lazy

Torkin, one word:
MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF THERE.
Well, the word was "move," but I got carried away...
