It's 6000 Australian dollars so about £3000.

I'm sure there's some tool out there somewhere who'll pay up. My 300 quid amp recently came up on Ebay US for 2500 US Dollars (1800 quid or so?), and if someone offered me that for it I'd take the money and run

[Sibob]

It will sell for as much as someone wants to pay for it.

Yes but you didn't mean it in that context or you wouldn't have had to look it up.

As far as I'm concerned you had little grounds the insult the seller as you don't know what the item he is selling is worth.

Cool
That's the end of it

And shipping to Oz is not cheap, hence everything costs more there.

I really want to try an Orange amp and hate it because I don't think my wallet could handle one.

[henry norton]

During the dark ages (well, the mid 1980's), when I started playing, Orange were generally regarded as something you bought if you couldn't afford a second hand Marshall. How times have changed eh????

[wateroftyne]

Calm down, dear. It's only an Ebay listing.

True.

A guitarist I used to play in a band with picked up a great condition OR100 and matching 4x12 for £180. And that was from Denmark St. A year later he picked up a 2x12 combo version for £150 from the same place.

Mind you, you could pick up AC30s with blue speakers for under £75 around that time as well.

I'm going to get [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200390364668&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT"]this[/url] tomorrow hopefully. Probably better for my purposes. Beans on toast diet beckons.

A guy I knew in the 80's bought one for 80 quid... he promptly painted it black.

thats a proper orange amp in good nick, and its found its way to australia thus the inflated price!

[Musicman20]

I dont know much about the old Orange amps...but no doubt its worth a fair bit. Much more boutique and collectable. Marhsall is just everyday and 'meh'.

[bigthumb]

Is there any Australians here who would say that this is a good price or not? I for one think its a bit OTT. Lets see if it sells or not.
