By contrast, your eBay auctions state "no returns accepted".
EDIT: I should mention...this is not a criticism of your intent at all, just an explanation of what I mean by the value proposition being very different, and why I don't think your earlier price comparison is entirely valid.
and as for yourself, what are you doing ? do you want to discuss amps or just playing keyboard warrior ??
The price for my amp , reflects on the parts/ materials used and the amp its self, no one would expect someone to build an amp for one price and then sell it for half the cost , regardless of warrantee .. and its not like you can pop into Anderson's or Gak and buy an off the shelf Tweed Princeton ..
If someone wants off the shelf , then that's great and yes in general does drop in value in the second hand market.. but what about the guy who wants what other people don't have to offer, what about the guy who wants a 50's Tweed Princeton or a custom hand wired deluxe made as if it just roll out of the fender factory bk in the 50's ..
each to their own, fender tweeds are not everyones thing, you can't buy what I make "off the shelf" so its always going to be a custom build, and is always going to reflect in the price ...
to put the recored straight again.. its not / im not called Lupe amps ... Lupe is the name of a amp I build , which is in essence a Fender Tweed Princeton, a recreation of the 50's amp, which is no longer sold .. and if you dont understand the name then look it up ..
I don't build amps under any name, I'm not a company or a business , I make one off custom builds based of fenders 50's tweeds .. tbh I'm not worried, I don't think its negative advertising at all, on the contrary I've had two phone calls about custom builds off the back of this thread already ..
I’m saying it doesn’t look as neat and tidy as others in the price bracket. Those photos are nice and clear, I don’t see how seeing it in person would change anyone’s mind.
your wrong again, anyone who wants a custom built amp , are more than Wellcome to give me a call, pop round my house and have a play with a few, Im happy to open one up and show them over the amp, nothing is forced .. If they wanted re-stuffed Astron's caps and a perspex rear panel im more than happy to do that too ..
Im really struggling now to understand where your coming from with your posts..
The customer would still have these legal rights if buying a custom build from an actual business - ask any of the custom guitar or amp builders on here about their legal obligations, because they all have war stories about it, and that is why you're able to undercut them; they have to account for those legal rights in their pricing, and returns are expensive (just ask anyone in retail). As I said, you're sidestepping that by effectively selling your amps with the same consumer rights as if they were bought used, so that's why comparing your pricing to anything sold by a real business is apples-to-oranges...no matter how many times you say "ah, but quality components".
I think the heat that was added was duly reduced, and everyone should take a similar approach.
if I build a custom built amp for someone its normally because its not available to buy off the shelf from a shop, if someone has a problem they are more than Wellcome to come back to me , regardless of what it says on eBay or anywhere else... and if I build an amp for someone they don't want to return it ...
If I was a company, the business model would be very different, id be aiming to increase profits and reduce costs, and increase output , that's not what I'm about .. as I mentioned I build one off custom builds which sound and play amazing ..
instead of trying to make smart comments, about an amp you haven't seen, played, or handled why don't you try one .. and as for the cost, the price is what it is no one is forced to buy from me..
Cheers for the recommendation though, I will make a note of that company.
Flynn Amps do a 5E3 @ £1695 (and plenty of other amps too). https://www.flynnamps.com/
you dont think there worth what im asking ?... have you played one ??
please dont act like a fool ...
Seriously, just walk away and post something in the made in the UK section and document an amp build or something. That's the best way to do things going forward and will sell your wares better than this.
