There’s a lot of that other brand sitting in multiple stores around here, too. Been looking at it thinking, “who’s going to pay these prices?”

Well, that works out about the same, with the exchange rate.

Stay ready boys…
Right On!!! I was supposed to go look at an Origin 50H for $300 today in like new condition according to the seller. I'm glad this work shit got in the way and I wont have time for a 4 hr round trip until next week. Maybe my GAS will subside by then and I will convince myself I don't need it but I'm not making any promises
TBH, I really want a SC20H and need to wait and see how the market shakes out, but thought I couldn't get hurt on a almost brand new Origin 50H in the meantime...

They are all hiding from everyone. My first job out of school was with a distributor selling cell phones and computers on the phone and we would avoid call-ins like the plague when we were out of stock on the hot items. Roles reversed when we had stock and no one else did and we made a killing.

Just curiosity
But from SW:
"Looks like maybe June at the earliest unless they get us a really big shipment between now and then"
Wallets are safe again!

Hey I stopped at 2
Just like LeBron in Miami?
What I meant was that it's not overpriced in the sense of compared to their US price. The BE100 DLX is a good example of this. As someone replied to you, it's $4000 in the US. Add 24% VAT to it and you're at almost $5k. Translate that to euro and you end up with €4692 with today's exchange rate. Hence, it's not overpriced.
If it's WORTH it though, that's a whole different question and in general I'd say hell no.
I don't disagree really, but I think being made in USA, on a smaller scale and using higher spec parts really does add up.
Talking used prices here, but I paid about £2k used for my BE100, the 20W amps and Runts go for about £1000 used. If I were to source my own parts for one of those circuits it wouldn’t come out much less, and it would still take someone to built it. 20W Marshalls are maybe £500-600 used, the 100W vary depending on model and year (DSL/JVM can be dirt cheap, Jubilee reissues are £750-800, 1959SLP/1987/£900-1000, 2203x £1500, vintage ones a little more). I think the used Friedman prices are in line with that at least.
The fact Marshall and Ceriatone can build them cheaper doesn’t mean the boutique brands are necessarily a ripoff - they just have different margins to work in and certain compromises may have no bearing on how the user feels about them.
The Ecstasy below costs nearly £5000z

SLO100 is £4000, JP2C and Mark VII are over £4000 too. Two Rock and Magnatone are on another level beyond that.
Sure, that's true. I just think that in general, most people in Europe don't really care about "Made in the USA".
It's not something we associate with "quality".
