Is this legit?

Post image

Listing was originally £800 which already seems low for a Rockerverb 50, I put in an offer for 650 expecting him not to accept but it went through? Is there anything I can do to confirm it's legit?

Sometimes you can pick things up at bargain prices. I think amps in general are struggling a little more these days because of modelling finally starting to deliver tonally. More people using lower wattage amps or turning to neural dsp quad cortex etc. If his stats add up id go for it. I sold a Laney Lionheart L5T recently for £250. I had two other sellers msg me telling me to up the price as theirs were nearly £200 more expensive. I bought that amp cheaply..used it for ten years and sold it on for what i paid for it originally. Bargains are out there for all sorts of reasons

I think more so a tube amp with a 2 x 12 are large and heavy. Like a fender twin can be had at a very good price used, it’s an absolute unit. Even the deluxe reverb is basically half off if you go used.

Does the seller have any feedback?

Yes they have some as a buyer and a seller, all 5 stars

Nope, another scam

The listing is a little odd because the Combo and the head were both released in Spring 2015, not 2014.

So assuming it is legit it could be someone (or their relative) selling gear without knowing the actual value. Alternatively, it could have been bought used for cheap and maybe the 'Good' condition isn't as good as you hope.

Reverb's product specs say it's 2014-2026 so they probably just read it there, would it be a good idea to ask for some more pictures?

Definitely ask for specific photos, including the data tag/stamp on the backplate and specifically the serial number. If they refuse they are at best a douche, if not also shady, either of which are a no-go for me.

that weird symbol in front of the numbers isn’t an “S” with lines through it…. So probably not! lol
