    I already submitted bids of $1.39, 2.36, and $2.99 respectively.
    My offers of 1.39, 2.36 were rejected. My bid of $2.99 was submitted.
    I sure hope I get it.
    I want to make it into a mailbox.

        I wouldn't use a lucite mailbox... How am I gonna avoid embarrassment when my Care Bears Blu-Ray collection comes in?

        The Marshall on the other hand... that would more than mask my taste in wussy 80s cartoons.

        No, I never owned a Care Bear.

          Always meant to learn the guitar lick from the thundercats theme, but somehow forgot about it. Till you reminded me now.

            Well... The non Plexiglas Masterpiece 50 has a base MSRP of $2399.99

            I sure wouldn't pay an extra $4600.00 for the Plexiglas cabinet. It doesn't even seem to have LED illumination! An obvious "must do" IMHO.

            I suppose it does have the distinction of being the presentation amp. And so, probably hand wired by one guy. Not an unheard of price in that regard I suppose, but still really high. This isn't a slam on Peavey, but how special can that amp be? It's not like it's a vintage Marshall or Fender. Those brands have the distinction of defining the sound of the electric guitar by virtue of their history. Peavey has yet to do that. I guess you don't get anything if you don't ask though. Even if it is an extra 4600 clams.

            Instead of an amp for a mailbox, how about a mailbox for an amp? Complete with mounted 4x4 post. Fun to see on stage.

              Mailbox? How about a terrarium. I could see some moss & rocks in there with a couple of salamanders.
              This isn't the future I signed up for.

                Who needs tubes when there are live salamanders in there? I think you are onto something.

                    There were a few really nice AC30s built in Perspex in the 60s. One came up on Fee-bay in 2012 with a starting price of $15,000. Can't help thinking they'd end up jellyfish-shaped with the heat.

                    Now thinking of jellyfish, I could combine it with a marine aquarium. With a guitar-playing prawn.
