Are you paying for a complete, working PA package or just a bundle of aging gear? At US$500, this is well above the typical used market for comparable listings here: the median is US$95, with the 75th percentile at US$236, so the ask is clearly ambitious rather than a bargain.
That said, a powered mixer plus speakers can still be useful if it’s fully functional, loud, and ready to gig. Behringer Europower mixers are valued for straightforward, roadworthy utility, and the included Peavey speakers add real practical value if they’re healthy. I’d only lean in at this price if the cabinets, drivers, controls, and outputs are all confirmed working and the package includes the right cables; otherwise, it’s priced like a premium listing without the pedigree to back it up.

Behringer traces its roots to January 25, 1989, when Uli Behringer founded the company in Willich, Germany. A self-taught electronics enthusiast who built his first synthesizer at age 16, Uli drew inspiration from his father's church organ projects and his own struggles as a pianist and sound engineer. Unable to afford professional studio gear, he began crafting affordable alternatives for himself and friends, rapidly scaling from a home workshop into a full production facility. This DIY heritage underscores Behringer's mission to democratize high-quality audio tools.
The brand excels in a vast array of pro-audio and hi-fi categories, including mixers, compressors, amplifiers, powered speakers, DJ controllers, synthesizers, and signal processors. Early hits like the 1990 MDX8000 Combinator and 1996 EURODESK MX8000 mixer paved the way for expansions into guitar pedals, studio monitors, and boutique recreations of vintage synths. Manufacturing shifted to China in the 1990s, enabling massive scale while maintaining patented innovations.
Behringer occupies the entry-to-mid-tier market, renowned for its "double the features, half the price" ethos that delivers solid performance to hobbyists, live sound pros, and budget-conscious studios. While praised for value and reliability in live and project-studio settings, it faces criticism for build quality shortcuts compared to high-end marques, positioning it as a pragmatic choice for discerning buyers prioritizing accessibility over audiophile prestige.
