Is this the second or third time we've seen this amp ? Arizona rings a bell....

I Would Like To Make A Complete Unit. But I Don't Want To Go Over The Market Value. What Would Be Estimated Price Range For Amp.

I dunno, but I think he wants too much.

Bottom line is that there is no such thing as 'market value' with vintage gear. It's worth whatever someone will pay for it.

My 2 cents

I have both pieces and it seems they go for $1000 up to $1500 in good condition.This amp is not bad shape but it shows some wear on the case.Me myself ,although I do not buy anything that actually works would go for it if I only had the pre-amp section.I bought mine in non working condition . You would still be able to recoup most if not all if you decided to sell them together.I love mine.Only in dire need of money would I sell mine .I hope it never happens.

Either this guy has another G22 amp or the deal fell through on the one he sold several months ago. I emailed him at that time to ask how he could operate the amp as a stand alone. He said he used rubber bands to hold the soft start and speaker protection relay contacts closed. What this means is he is operating the amp with all of the protection circuits bypassed. There is also a good chance that the rubber bands will bend or distort the relay armatures. That could prevent them from working properly if the unit is mated to a preamp. His opening bid is high if you ask me.

It's a decent price if you're looking for a mate with your existing pre-amp. What other options do you have? Sit and look at your lone, orphaned G-22000 pre-amp and wonder what could be?

If you're looking at resale, then it's likely you'd get more for the two whole pieces taking into account the current purchase price of the amp and what you'd expect to realize if you attempted to sell just the pre-amp.

The last single pre-amp on eBay went for $400+ I believe. There was a guy in the AK classifieds selling one for around $350 during Xmas.

Who's to say you'll see another very soon? Match 'em up and enjoy 'em.

What this means to me is he has enough electrical knowledge to be dangerous! I am surprised he didn't just solder the relays closed, who needs speaker protection anyway??
