Or it's someone who thinks they can re-sell it for more money if they include delivery.

Going back a while,  over a year ago, I was looking to do some work on mine and googled the price of valves etc. While searching, 3 NoS ones came up being sold by Laney through eBay for £599 collected only. 

 

They sold all on the same day, I was stunned. All 3 then resurfaced on eBay from a seller in W-s-M at £749. This was 50% of what the last retail price was IIRC. 

 

Now, this was when sellers paid a fee on that listing, (nothing has changed in reality, it's just easier to remember prices from before the change) so if we do the maths, someone was prepared to "invest" £1797 up front, drive the 200 mile round trip from W-s-M to a Halesowen, put them into storage while waiting for them to sell for £2247 minus eBay fees, collection cost, etc. 

 

Really!?  It's a lot of outlay, effort and messing about to pocket £200-300 if you're lucky. But it shows that there are people out there...

Things such as this are often lauded as absolute bargains etc... yet nobody pulled the trigger and it is relisted.  LOL  

 

From the lack of bids (zero), it clearly isn't a bargain and needs to be cheaper; how much cheaper will dictate its true 'value' but not a bargain if absolutely nobody is prepared to drive to Bristol to buy it..  

This is so funny, I've just found this thread and that you're all discussing this - I'm the seller and the head has sold (sold for cheap as I need the space). I have a Laney endorsement and it was hardly used tbh so I'm happy to have sold it to someone that will use it ! The cab is still available if anyone wants to make an offer though.

I was the one talking to you on eBay! Shame the head sold without the cab, I'd have taken both quite happily when coming to Cardiff this month.
