Is this a good deal?

[GO-NAD!]

A local ad has listed for sale:
DBX 1531 P
Behringer EP1500
Yamaha P3200

All for $450.
Is that a good price? I can definitely use both amps - not sure about the DBX though. I don't know how old they are, but they were "removed from a church", so I guess they haven't dragged around the country. Any particular problems I should look for?

The EP1500 is worth ~$150 used if in good condition.
The P3200 ~$250 in good condition.

So, if they are all in good condition, that would be a fair price. Thanks!

It's a fair price, and if it's local you can test them in person. It's also nice not having any concern for shipping damage.

It's not a resale price by any means.

The DBX is just a professional EQ, dime a dozen thing. One recently sold on ebay for just over $50 + $25 shipping.

Of course I would try to get them down 10-15%. That should be expected from CList unless the price is insanely great.

When you go to check them out bring a multimeter. Throw it over to the 200 DC setting. Power the amp up and put the leads in the speaker out. You are testing for DC current (call offset for some reason) on the outputs.

It needs to be below 20 and ideally under 9. Too much DC on the outputs indicates a filtering problem and can damage voice coils in speakers.

Bring a speaker to test them with (and a source) if they have been pulled from the rack (that is you can't test them on house sound).
