harmonator Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I didn't see it last week for £300, but the point is a price increase of 16.6% in one week sounds like hyperinflation to me, regardless of how good an amp Alfie thinks it is. It's not a bad amp by any means, but it's not up there with hard-wired, point to point amps with heavyweight transformers. Judging by the chorus of voices proclaiming it as the bargain of the year at £350, all I can say is, why don't you buy it then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of communication should be confined to PMs, or even better not said at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shops often have sales which once over the items will go back to the original price. £350 is still £180 saving off a new one and if you are still interested i'm sure we can sort something out. This does sound in the same league as my Hiwatt. for a 30 watt amp its still 30 pounds! Having taken mine out of the case the transformers are still pretty chunky even though its only 30 watts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonator Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Astonishing! 'No thanks' means exactly what it says: no, thank you; I do not wish to proceed further. Perhaps you are a little hyper-sensitive about language in this environment of hyperinflation. As for not saying it at all, surely it is preferable for the seller to know that a possible lead is not defunct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmonator Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 My last entry was a response to Alfie, who seemed to take exception to my "no thanks". I make no judgment as to whether or not the amp is worth £350, merely that human nature balks against inquiring after an amp being marketed at £300, and then finding out that the price has risen by 1/6th. Anyway, good luck with the sale (no irony intended and I hope none taken!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmonator Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 When (and if) the price returns to £300 including delivery, my interest will return. I'll keep an eye out, but you may well get the price you're looking for, in which case all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
