Moved to the proper forum for auction links.

There is listening good, and collector good. This is one case where they are very collector good, much to the delight of the seller.:scratch2:

 

[grillebilly]

there are a couple other threads about these

Apparently they are,and to more than one person. It seems to me the value in this instance is rarity as well as quality....:yes:

 

[richd860]

Maybe I'll bid............NOT!!!!!

 

[Fisherdude]

Five different bidders have been involved since it passed $30,000.

So, the answer is "Yes".

There seems to be a mantra routinely repeated equating "worth" with "how much someone anywhere on the planet is willing to pay". Because I find so much good information shared on this site, I struggle to see where this adds to the exchange. Am I just grumpy, or envious? Anyway, thanks to the OP for pointing out something I would never have noticed.

the english is terrible too...

Hey, it's only money..., which appears to have less and less buying power

Although I would not pay that kind of money for these amps 'cause they don't look good to me (aesthetically speaking). I like my expensive gear to look great, too

NOTE TO SELF: Do NOT gut the NEXT Fairchild amp for parts. Repeat, do NOT gut the NEXT Fairchild amp for parts.:bash:

They only output 2 or 500 ohms so they are difficult to implement.

Way cooler and far more valuable are the WE 86c amps also on the bay right now.

Jeebus, past 50k now!

 

[fdejong]

Look at the bids - looks like the same people or one person and bidding himself up? VERY FISHY!!!!

Looks ok to me, only the last 15k is between those two bidders, and they both have high feedback.

 

[ecandle]

a fool and his money shall soon part....

 

[fdejong]

If you look at the bids closely - the same bidder - bid 3 times in a orw? that is sniping or trying to get the bids up and THAT is fishy.

I believe it shows that when someone else's bid hits a proxy. ie. If my proxy is 40k and the high bid is 28k, a bid at 35k will elevate the high bid to 35,100 with my name attached.

Sniping is placing a bid within the last seconds of an auction - hoping to hit the high bid before your opponent has a chance. I wish eBay would implement a 'soft close' system to prevent this, but that's another thread!

 

[audiodon]

Up over 50k with a little over an hour to go.

 

[radioactive]

$57,100 closing price.:jawdrop:

 

[bowtie427ss]

Looks completely legit to me.

The winning bid of $57,100.00 or more was placed 4 days before the end of the auction.

Nice sale/auction, wish it were mine.:yes:

 

[amphead4]

So if we spent $4 or 5K to make these same amps, could we expect to make any money selling them?
