I think he means just as far as their monetary value these days.

Yeah, you're probably right. I would not have responded if he had made a statement like: "Right now the going price on eBay and this board for an Empeg is about $400", but you cannot assign a worth to the Empeg like he did in his statement.

You are way to high. Your empeg is only worth around $400 itself.

It is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I just remember when the carplayer.com guy was getting ripped a new one when he kept raising the prices as supply dwindled, and don't wish it to repeat. If the price is too high (or even "to high"), don't buy. Eventually the seller will figure out he's asking for more than people are willing to pay.
