Would you buy it for 28 bucks?

Sure . . . then you could resell it and buy something that you want to play. Why clutter up your house with junk you don't need? Life is too short.
a 40w 2x12 amp is way louder than i need most of the time and i dont really plug in at home much.
i have more guitars than i need already so spending the 3k on a guitar doesnt make any more sense than getting this.
these things dont really die of old age, and if something goes, you just replace it. old hand wired stuff can last damn near forever. i suppose ill at least go play them and see which one i like best
My point being maybe 2800 to him is not the same as 2800 is to you.
I could easily say I don't use my gear under certain measuring sticks much. I may play a different amp or guitar every day and still only play that specific guitar a few times a year. I guess my point is if you like stuff and can afford it why not buy it?

The thing is, I used to collect a bunch of stuff . . . and getting the stuff always felt awesome. But then like three or four days later there would be something else I'd want. There's no satisfying that kind of wanting, and feeding it is like scratching a mosquito bite. . . just makes the irritation worse.

Realistically, nobody needs a Hot Rod Deluxe.
A Pro would be a better choice at that power level than any of those.
oh, im not really purging. id still have the jtm30, the modded musicmaster bass amp, the 5e3 clone, the 5e7 clone, the trainwreck express clone, the 5f2 clone, the '66 dr, the '69 dsr, and probably a few im forgetting about. not to mention a pile of mercury magnetics transformers, enough to build a 25w reverb amp, a 100w plexi, and a single ended thing. oh, and a massive power tranny that i have no idea why i got it.
the hrd is a fine amp, as is the supro, as is the vox. but i think the pro reverb will be a better fit for me and cover similar territory

They're not terrible amps, but the volume control is too jumpy for this guy.

Exactly. Fender could have made a truly great amp, but that volume control kills it for me. I honestly have an easier time using my AB165 Bassman with a 2x12 in a small setting than I do the HRD amps.

That's pretty ingenious. I got one and considered a THD Hotplate, but I just got a Vox Night Train 15w head and ran it through my Marshall 2x12 instead.

Either find a way to use it - even if that means gazing upon it and being stoked that you have it - or don't buy it. Seems simple enough to me.

Not sure if you’ve made up your mind yet, but as Warren Miller says (paraphrased) “They aren’t making any more of these”. Take good care of it (which you do) and it’s only going up in value if you decide you want to move it in a few years.
