They are appreciating but that is currently far too much. Superb basses but so heavy. That one doesn't look any different to the 1981 photo following

You should have been at the bath musical instrument auctions a couple of months back. You could have bought the first one ever made in as new condition. It went for about £500 form memory. I had a little play unplugged and it was really nice. It had a known provenance and the serial number was something like 000001

Here is the link, lot 71 (Ken Archard collection). Strange that it says 1980 as it seems they started production in 78. I was sure that he serial was 1 but my eyes aren't good. It was actually 7 so I lied. It went for £480. Auction link here and its gorgeous......

I've seen a few chancers list T40s for really high prices recently but doubt any of them sold for such high amounts. Around £350 seems to be the going rate.
