    Car is too small, but they'd fit great in a van down by the river.

    Just came across this on audiogon. At $999 it’s a 50% discount (even more with what I paid with tax) on what I paid for this amp a couple years ago. Check the seller out first but he claims brand new in box. I absolutey love this amp and it drives my Martin Logan Motion 40s beautifully (not like they need much power). I’d be the first to admit that the tube buffer doesn’t make a ton of different but I hear a touch of additional warmth.

    Anyways, I’m tempted to buy a second one at this price. Someone’s gonna get a steal on a great integrated that I think punches way above even its original retail price.

    But in the Auteur thread you also just played up the fact that we may never see a new production Blackwood headphone of any kind again. Talk like that and some people might actually throw down $2500 in a fit of collector paranoia.

    @jazztherapist

    Maybe. But there was surely some portion of joke in what @DEATHxMACHINE said.

    Plus, I've seen the way how OOP or unobtainable products are traded here and there. At the end of the day, "normal" people behave normally, even for super rare products. Fair price talks. Many examples: early versions of he6, ec oop amps, senn big/jr orpheus, lff moded he5/6, etc etc. None of us pay crazy prices for such products regardless of their good receptions. I strongly believe sbaf is (and should be) a place for rational people.

    Well, we all have collector paranoia in our brain more or less. How to control and fight against it would be very personal imo. I don't think what I posted there was more than adding an optimization constraint -- can change optimal allocation (decision) a bit but still within rationality.

    @Vtory

    I would love to debate much of what you’ve said here if there were a more appropriate thread.

    Mogwai SE on ebay for $2300. I want to click buy, but not enough $$ and just ordered a bottlehead sex kit.

    Edit:

    Oops, already listed on SBAF, don't know how I missed it.

    Yep, that’s mine. You’ll see it in the FS section. Talk to me if you’re actually interested. It’s way too good to give away, but I’ve got bills. Will update price shortly.
