This reminds me of the recent discussions about price on a couple of other threads elsewhere on the forum. Either this buyer knows something no one else does, or HE REALLY WANTED THAT PARTICULAR EXAMPLE. It certainly was a great specimen.
Like Loudthud I couldn't help but notice this buyer was an experienced Ebayer.
I agree that the winner "REALLY WANTED THAT PARTICULAR EXAMPLE",
but the winner only won by $10!
3 people chased it over $750, 2 over $900. That's not an eBay "buy it now" fluke, IMO that's a
statement.
Of course, that amp is a real gem, almost looks NOS. It may be the
only one left that is
that nice, making it truly one of a kind. It's so nice
nobody even asked any questions, you can tell everything you need to know just by looking... But IMO it's definitely a "shot in the arm" for the value of Coliseums overall; could even inspire some "back burner" restoration projects onto the front burner. If I was sitting on one I would sure be tempted to get it up before bidders #2 and #3 find the amps that
they are also obviously willing to pay up for!
Notice how the bid doubled in the last minute of the auction. The winner has over 1000 feedbacks so it's not some newbe who won.
probably a store thats gonna flip it
You'll probably find it at the local Guitar "Shop" for $2400.00 next weel.
Well, if the winner finds a buyer in a local store that pays twice what eBay brought, I've just found my newest hero.
That was a 10 day long open auction in the biggest international open market place on the planet. It would cost more than that amp sold for to even reach .01% of the potential buyers it has been exposed to in the last 10 days.
