I thought it would be useful if we had a source of prices for various amps. Include specs or "thoughts on the amps" if you like.
Any amp you have or have used. Just name the price you bought it for (new or used?).

Check out Ebay. Follow some of the equipment you are looking at and get numbers so later you can see what they sold for. Problem with Ebay is sometimes stuff gets way overbidded, sometimes not. SOme of the "buy it now" stuff gives an idea of price. Factor shipping. Look for models on you local craigslist search - see what people are asking. Prices that folks paid is somewhat misleading as the markets fluctuate so much. one mans' bargain is another ones rip off.

I have a Chinese built Rocktronic 30w single channel all tube that I bought brand new on ebay £117.oo. Had it over a year now and it has been great.
Also I have a Selmer treble and bass built into a combo
that I had rebuilt,total cost about £175.00. Again this was bought on ebay.
The last one is a Kustom 12w Tube, solid state with a 12ax7 in the pre amp. I think I paid about £60.00 for that one a few years ago.
At the moment I am waiting for the £ to gain on the Euro a bit 'cos I fancy a Harley Benton GA5 from Thoman. I believe these are the same as the Epiphone jr. but with a tone control. At todays exch. rate they are £80.00 plus £10.00 shipping.
For demos of about 60 amps for harp go to Harpsucker on youtube
