As the title mentions, what’s an excellent condition used 2019 assembled in the USA Archon 1x12 combo in plane Jane black dress worth? I don’t need one, but it looks like there might be a good deal on one very locally.
 
I’ve talked myself out of it already. It just isn’t what I need. It’s listed on the verb at a pretty steep price and steep shipping. It’s much lower on the local FB Marketplace. Anyone out here in the SF Bay Area that might be interested, let me know and I’ll link the post.

Edit - local is 75% of @bodia’s reckoning above.
 
I mean, there are pedals that cost more fergodsakes.
That’s no ‘efin’ help. Plus I don’t have any.
I’m Almost tempted to send you enough to buy and ship it …
I thought about that. I think shipping, properly packed by FedEx or UPS so their insurance covers it, would make it a $650 amp to you, with shipping risk.

Time out! I have to check with the coordinator in the booth and go over the game plan.

[SFX: Whistle, ref turns on his walkie talkie mic, "Time out, Laz'ions first time out of the thread. This will be a 30 second time out."]

[SFX: Three car ads, a cell phone ad, a Christmas retail ad, three political ads, and a lawyer ad totaling like ten minutes not 30 seconds, WTF]

OK, we're back. Game plan says I'm an enabler for this one. Can't be helper. Gotta stick with the game plan.

I’m chuckling and shaking my head in wonder. Thanks! If it sits around for a week I may have to buy it. Hopefully someone beats me to it.
 
Archons pair really well with P-90s (from experience), especially on a KL 380 (so I've heard).
lol. Now you’re just pushing buttons to see what will happen - which I totally respect by the way. I think a local forum brother is gonna pick it up. If not, maybe I will. I think it’s pretty cherry. It’s old guy owned.
 
Sigh. I don’t need it, but it’s a heck of a deal.
This is an old story from before you were here, but the dealer I got my Custom 24, PRS 2x12 and some other stuff from, had one right after they first came out. The guy won it in some giveaway by one of the big boys (maybe Sweetwater) and it was brand new, purple and tan. The guy had been wanting a new PRS guitar this dealer had, so as soon as he won it, he brought it straight to the store and traded it in. Never turned it on! I was working with this store to sell my Tokai guitars (I was the US reseller of MIJ Tokai strat and tele style guitars for a couple years), so he offered it to me for $650! Brand new. That was before I even got my 50 watt Archon head, and the ONLY reason I didn't snag it immediately was that I wanted head/cab setup since I already had multiple cabs. If he had a mint one like that today, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Who snagged it?
He doesn’t post often, so I won’t reveal who it is. He can chime in if he wants. He contacted me through PM’s. Lives 3-4 hours south of me. I did call you out to him as a good resource for Archons. I also asked him to contact me if he elects to move it on. You never know - I may “need” it more later.
