I don't see how any one can say $250 (or even $275) is "Collectable
Dollars." Here's a mint one that sold for twice the money:

Thanks for all the input!

Glad you're taking this all in good humor ;-)

I really wasn't trying to dump on you(r) auction.
Just amazed at what this old crap goes for in a
quickly rising market. I was buying "Very good to
near mint" Crestlines up to the size of the Epiphone
Zypher (2-6V6 and 2-10") - for less than $200 within
the last 2 years.

In fact, within 6 months I sold that Zypher to a
west coaster for $400 (it was truly near mint) and
then I saw him resell it some months later for $500!!!
Then it recycled on eBay yet again, but at a slight
loss to that seller.

As one guy here used to comment a long time ago: "some
of those amps on eBay are just going around and around
the country.

It's getting crazy when any old amp with tubes in it
cost more than a new one, or a decent kit to build
your own "boutique" quality amp.

Regard,

John
