Just listed my bass amp for sale, and now after getting it cleaned up, taking some pictures, and creating some ad copy with all the pertinent features I'm not realy wanting to sell it anymore
So I'm trying to make up for it by listing the sell price a couple hundred bucks more than I initially intended to list it for

Got about 1/3 of the storage unit filled. Plenty of stuff to go next weekend and during the week too. Made a pretty good dent in things.
Going to have to get a 10 yard dumpster for construction debris. There's plenty of that. There is going to be a purge.
The garage is frightening.

Most of the time I price things way too low to get them out of my house quickly, then realize I could have used them a few months later and kick myself for how much replacing it will cost

Same here. Although she often complains about the limited imaginativeness of my menu, I have to remind her that I do not share her passion for watching all the iron chef tv shows.

I priced it at the very top end of the used price spectrum - if someone buys it at the price I have listed I'll be surprised. Who knows with the latest round of stimulus checks though.

I'm trying to sell mine as a set since I modified the original cabinet wiring by taking out the passive crossover and turning it into a bi-amp only cab (if you want to use the tweeter, at least). I am sad that I never got to play it live, the GK head is a monster and 2x12 is my favorite cabinet configuration.

If it was listed for a while, you likely did the right thing for your market. Stuff like that (bigger/heavy with a niche market) is a pain in the ass, sometimes. You might get a much better price if you list it to a wider audience, but, with something like ebay, you then have to contend with shipping, shipping costs, listing costs, Paypal fees, etc - that **** adds up quick. And then there's still the chance that it comes back to bite you in the ass because of unscrupulous buyers and Paypal's bias towards buyers.

Were you firm on selling them as a set? That could have contributed to it. I know Eden is pretty well known but Spector basses aren't the most common in my experience. The combo might have been catering to a much more specific audience than you thought.

I tried selling just the bass first. That sat on craigslist and face book market place for about a year. Then I decided to sell the amp. I would only sell them together just because seperated I felt I would get less than I wanted. The amp they don’t make anymore but it was super nice. Sounded way better than my old Ampeg SVT.

I watch the hell out of the cooking channels, especially the baking ones. Since I did that for a bit, I may try and duplicate what sounds good to me.
