Re: New Amp Day! Thanks, UPS!
THE PLOT THICKENS!
So in my continued hunt for a new amp, I'm on GC's used gear database and I see something quite peculiar.
Exhibit A:
Oh wow, another pro tube twin! Just like the one I had bought from Michigan and returned to Whitehall, here in PA. Hey, it's at that store, too! What a coincidence!

Hang on a sec, that item number sure looks familiar. Let me check my papers OH GOD
What?! Well, maybe they fixed a ruined tube combo with a broken cabinet, smashed jewel bulb and no sound output in just a couple of days. The would have another twin cab laying around, I'm sure. It definitely looks nice!
Oh, that's the same photo the Michigan store had on their listing, too. (Had to blow it up from my order email, but it's obvious)
Now, I'm wondering. They can't be serious about selling this amp again, as it was JACKED (see original post). I'm wondering though, was it already smashed before I ever bought it, and that apparently stock photo was used to dupe me? Are they hoping to sell this thing over and over until some one doesn't care to bring it back, hopes to fix it themselves, and GC keeps their money? Whatever is going on, I think it kinda stinks.
It would be fun if some one that sees this gave the Whitehall store a call and asked about the amp; what kind of shape it's in, any issues, when they might have gotten it in, etc. I'd be delighted to hear what they say.
