I find these year-end bestseller reports by Reverb interesting, since the site has become so dominant for used gear, at least in the US.
No big surprises in the list:

No big surprises in the list:
But some observations:
- Milkman "The Amp" pedalboard amp comes out of nowhere to be the #10 best-selling amp. Right behind it at #11 is another pedalboard amp, the Quilter MicroBlock 45, which jumps up 9 spots from last year. Quilter had the 2 pedalboard amps in the top 20 last year, the 101 Mini at #17, and the MicroBlock 45 at #20. So maybe pedalboard amps are becoming more of a thing.
- This year, #5 through #8 are the standard gigging combos: Vox AC15, Marshall DSL40C, Fender 65 DRRI, Fender HRD. That's mostly it for that kind of amp, right? Oddly, the Peavey Classic 30 fell all the way out of the top 20 from #11 last year. I wonder why.
- The only full-size (not lunchbox/mini/etc.) head in the top 20 is the EVH 5150 III 50W. Last year, the only full-size head in the top 20 was the Mesa Mark Five 25, which remains the best-selling amp over $1000.
- Mesa remains the most-represented brand in the top 20 $1000+ category, with 7 entries in 2018 and 2017.
