eBay - How Much Is A Despot Worth?


Well, I know we have put a price on the head of The Despotic One if you want to buy it direct from us (which would be rather nice of you as we need the money to buy some more capacitors and resistors and things), but to be totally honest, we didn't really have a clue what to charge.

I mean, on one hand it is totally unique, hand-made and a complete one-off. It has a serial number of '2', which when you think about it in Fender or Gibson terms is kinda crazy (ahem) and could mean that the amp is worth, err, millions in years to come.

But on the other, it is home made from a second hand cigar box with the electronics housed in a Swan Vestas match box.

So, its worth is probably  a matter of perspective.

To help us decide whether this is crazy cheap or madly over-priced, we figured we'd let you decide (or at least the people who notice it on eBay if anybody does.)

You can see how it is doing HERE

And if nobody notices it and it remains unsold, it'll stay here and I will continue to do my best Sonic Youth impressions...

I really don't care either way.
