Salvador Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 How difficult would it be to re sell an Emotiva UPA-500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I suppose that depends on your asking price, condition of the unit and if you're willing to ship. Any of those 3 could increase or decrease difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 If I were you and you haven't ordered that thing yet I would skip it. 80 watts may be plenty but leaves no headroom for reference volume. Plus you are always gonna wonder why didn't I get the bigger emotiva. They are so cheap anyways. Wait for a good used price on xpa-5. Or in July they should have a big freedom sale. Or something like that. 15 percent I think. I bought mine with 15 off and it was like 769 brand new. No what ifs here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Youthman Posted May 7, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 7, 2013 What is the point of this thread? What's your point? [] We are only guessing without more details from the OP but my guess is he has likely ordered the UPA-500 or is considering ordering it and is having second thoughts. That is my guess.

Salvador Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Alright, I made a decision!! Its the XPA-5 and UMC 200. I will wait for sales price in July and have no regrets. Thank you all who helped me here and on my other post. K5SS, the reason I wanted to know how eazy it would be to sell the UPA is so that I can upgrade to the XPA-5 later. I will take Scraooydude advise and get the XPA-5 no regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappydue Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Well it is 2.5 times the watts so if my calculations are correct it will be about 2.5 times easier to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Well it is 2.5 times the watts so if my calculations are correct it will be about 2.5 times easier to sell. Doubling the wattage only increases difficulty by 50%. Rookie mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubling the wattage only increases difficulty by 50%. Rookie mistake. But, he also has the UMC-200. Is that worth 1/3 times more of the selling price?

Are you talking 1/3 more of the re-selling price or the pre-selling price? Makes a big difference when you plug it into the re-selling matrix.

derrickdj1 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The best thing is that he made a decision. Good or bad, he is now off the fence and has a direction to pursue! Almost anything can be resold if the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost anything can be resold if the price is right. He's made the amp decision. Is he going to be selling the UMC-200 or will he get back on the fence for an XMC-1?

K5SS Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I bought my XPA-5 for $800 4 months ago and sold it for $750 last week. It was only listed on CL for 15 minutes before the guy that bought it contacted me. I am now buying a XPA-3 as a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I bought a UPA7 for $500, I sold it two years later for $550. Point....it's not hard to sell any Emotiva amp for close to price paid if bought right. Congrats to the OP, hopefully it will be everything he was hoping for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Ok Salvador! Call emotiva today before they run out. They are having a huge warehouse sale! They offer INSANE prices during these. Perfect time to grab xpa-5 and UMC-200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
