I wonder how much it sold for? Very rare amps. I sold a mint one a few years ago for about £600. It's one I wish I had kept.
Talking of vintage guitars from people who don't know enough did anyone see the refin and suspect 1953 Tele at Guitar Guitar...must be on consignment, it was on ebay recently at a stupid price too...

£19k for a refin, can get an original for not much more!
I’d also be very surprised if you could get £1600 for the wide range hums, especially as there’s no guarantee they work properly.
Personally I think there’s very few bargains on there, and lots of stuff seems to sell for the kind of money you’d pay in a guitar shop, where you’d get a warranty and the opportunity to try the gear out properly first.

Original CuNiFe WHRBs can go for a few hundred quid, and there's not that much to fix in a pickup if there were to be a fault.

Someone got an uber bargain. I sold my old one for £1000 and it was nothing like as nice as that one. I had considered bidding but didn't think I'd get it... I would have done!!! Bugger...
A pair of proper 1970s Wide Range pickups could be worth £500-600 and a 1970s Tele neck could be worth just shy of the same. Old 70s stuff is asking/making big money: examples:

The bridge was a late 70s early 80s Fender six saddle, which can sell for upto £60+ and the bridge pickup itself looked vintage (although if its a 1970s one, its not my bag).
So put that little lot together, and its not *that* bad a deal - its just not like buying a POS like that at a car boot sale or similar...
