Well for similar reasons, I suggest you google a few things after the
auction ends with no bids:

"It is a lot more resonant than the tolex that the amp came with."
Google "resonance" and "tolex"
Hint: resonance is generally bad, and tolex has nothing to do with it.

"The preamp tubes are new Sovtek 12AX7s. I have found these to work best,
but I also really liked the new Groove Tubes 12AX7M Mullard reissue."
Use groups.google.com and specify this group and rec.audio.tubes, keywords
"sovtek" and "groove tubes". After reading some of those posts it might
become clear that the term "mullard reissue" is considered a farce among
those that would consider buying the amp.

I don't imply that the amp isn't worth what you ask, but those
contradictions will undermine your credibility and kill any chance of
getting top dollar. If you're going to stretch the truth, say it sounds
like a vintage tweed bassman, they're in far higher demand than twins, and
rightly so.

The Allen amps are often bought in kit form, they generally emulate
blackface Fender circuits.

That amp is definitely overpriced IMO, even with the fancy wood
exterior.
