Hi I have a sunn coliseum head that I am looking to sell. Can you give me a ballpark price as to what I should sell it for. I just had it serviced. Thank you for your help.

The info you have given is too vague to give anything except a vague price. The amp needs an accurate date and model name. Usually inside the amp is an inspection sticker or a date written on the chassis. There are several models in Coliseum series, you need to state exactly which one.
These amps are not widely sought after so you probably won't find anything like an established price. Check the Vintage Guitar Price Guide or any other price guide you can find. Check Ebay and Reverb for any sold examples.

Thank you. I will take some pictures. It is a coliseum lead head.

My impression is that the Coliseum Lead was the least popular model. While bassists and keyboard players liked the clean, high powered amps, guitar players preferred the distortion from tube amps. That John Entwistle played bass through Coliseum amps didn't hurt at all, but guitar players wanted Marshalls.
