It typically ebbs and flows, like a lot of things. Right now I think prices have been a bit stronger lately so people who may need the money more than the gear think it's a good time to sell.

That said, over the last five years or so I can't recall so many 2000S heads and cabs being available.

In the last 4 years I've been interested in Sunn, I must concur, spotting a 2000s was quite a rarity, now they're everywhere it seems.

I wish my 2000s would sell, but even the lowball offers and scam emails have quit rolling in.  Looks like I'm stuck with it until they get rare again.

+1, although it doesn't look like any is really giving anything away. I did see a BIN on a Model T for $995, which is half what people were "frenzy paying" about a year ago, and a 2000S head for $995 also, but that isn't the big drop in market value that the Model T is.

Anybody who needs a Model T to fulfill a dream or enhance an image should snap them up NOW, I wouldn't imagine that they will ever get much cheaper than their current value.

I want to get one more Model T! but they're only shipped within US!!! and their's no way I can contact the seller to say: «I would pay 500$ for shipping I don't care, I want it!» :x

I've seen 4 Sorados on eBay in the past 2 months alone. That's a ton of 'em. And all of them have sold too. Must be the springtime weather.

I did. But honestly, I'm just finally getting better at guitar and needed a more articulate (/versatile) amp. I think my Model T on my brown grill Marshall is ugly but sounds sexy as hell.
