Looks legit but I'm still wary. My red flags on this one: 1- eastern Europe- little recourse if something goes wrong 2- international shipping 3- not able to reach him on the phone Maybe it's great but be careful. Sometimes the lowest offering price is not the cheapest option... For this one it isn't about lowest price, it is about availability. I'm wary, but wonder if Reverb doesn't offer a degree of protection? Thus far I've only used it to buy from sellers in Canada. Understood- just be super careful on this one... A lot can go wrong in transit, even if he is legit.

Drop a line with them and ask? I was reading over their customer protection info earlier this morning, but will look into it further.

There are some here in North America, but they are way overpriced.
A store in Quebec has a two channel combo, but it isn't in great condition. They made me an offer this morning, but it was still way overpriced. They list it as being in very good condition, I consider it fair to good - at best.
There is a head available on Long Island but the price is way too high, and the shipping charges are fucking moronic (the combo would ship from Europe for less than the head would ship from NY to Toronto).

So here is how this all played out.
I tried a couple of amps, but wasn't completely happy with them. Then I grabbed an Orange Rocker 15 Terror and was quite happy with it. But in the Boxing Day sales a store on the other side of Toronto from me put the 50 watt Rockerverb on sale for $750 less than they normally go for, and put the AD340 on sale for $500 less than they normally sell for. Since L&M price matches, I returned the Rocker 15 and ordered the AD30.
Yes it is loud for home use, but the master volumes make it controllable.

And, you could always add an attenuator down the road for the full crank sound.

I seriously considered a Dual Terror when I picked up the Rocker 15 Terror, both of which are really good amps. I could have been happy with either one had I not been so focused on the AD30 and getting back what I had stupidly moved on.

If you're still looking No, see above - I made L&M price match The Arts and picked one up new. That one on Kijiji is ridiculously overpriced. I paid less than that after price matching (including taxes). For some reason, they do not sell for much on the used market (usually around $1000) even though they don't come up used very often as those who own them tend to keep them.
