Wizard amps Vintage Classic
My friend bought a Wizard Vintage Classic not long ago. Nice sounding amp, but to me it's not better then a bunch of other Plexi replica, the 68 MEtroamp is way better, but that's my opinion. What I don't understand is the price of the Wizard amps. 4300$ for the 100W Vintage Classic. It sound like a joke to me. Anyway, what do you think about thoses amps ?

and the modern classic cost 4700$, and it looks like some kind of Marshall Jubilee copy. On the other hand, Reeves make very nice Hiwatt copy, and tou can get one for 1800$. You can buy a 68 Metroamp and a Reeves Custom 100 for less then a single Wizard Vintage Classic head. There'S something that I don't understand.

Supply and demand the keystone of modern economics. The builder is the amp tech for AC/DC so he is on the road half of every year and in that time nothing gets built. Then the pent up demand and road cred kicks in to drive up the price. He can only and wants to only build x number of amps, all of those things contribute to short supply. Anyway that's enough economics 101.

I think, the answer already is buried in this threadtoner wrote:... do you mind sharing why if they sounded so "killer"?

The fault almost always is sitting in front of the amp

Ill tell you I have some experience with getting stuff that has a huge waiting list and time to be delivered. The used price on ebay is sometimes a 50% profit. People actually buy the things sometimes just to sell them and make money. If someone wants one now and has the money to pay for it, they will.
