Told him I have the same combo as well as the head and cab version. He tells me the h+c aren't nearly as valuable and the head in an AC30 cab will be worth much more. He does have a Vox Valvetronix cabinet he will sell me for £250!!!!

"The version you have is NOT as valuable as the combo. It's it's uniqueness of looking exactly like an AC30 on stage and from photos but with a Ferrari under the bonnet so to speak."
So he has basically admitted it's not actually an AC30. Gonna keep going with this I think. It's fun!
My apologies for the differing size text in my original post, it was late at night and I was cutting and pasting from his mails

"This is VOXAC30 looking amplifier with 2 x 12 and all valve and with 125 WATTS output." (Ignoring that technically it isn't quite all-valve since it has an input buffer transistor on each channel, which I've forgotten before too.)
Although this bit isn't -
"It can produce classic vintage VOX sounds/tones and also as a bonus Fender and Marshall sounds.
Best VOX amp ever made and perfect for studio use where versatility in sound is needed, and also better suited for large venues too, unlike the underpowered AC30 basic model"
Like all the AC30s famous rock bands use to play quite large venues like Glastonbury, presumably...

"Model: AC30 125 watt model"
.....er, is it an AC30 or not? I think not.
It does have some good qualities, actually. It's very quiet (in terms of hiss and hum) compared with some vintage amps. The active EQ is unusual and quite versatile. And although it can go loud enough to peel paint off the walls, it does actually sound pretty good at low volumes. On the down side, it has a sort of clangy, hard quality to the mid-range that reminds me of my old Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. If you expect it to sound like an AC30 you'll be disappointed.

Which got this response:
Since the seller didn't answer my questions, I fired off this more searching missive:
To which I received this long and snotty response:
Trying not to laugh too loud or get sidetracked with his arrogance, I returned to the nub of whole issue:
And within minutes, this:
I give up. The seller isn't interested in being reasonable, or providing sufficient information. He spouts plenty of irrelevance and maintains an arrogance attitude, then wonders why there are so many "time wasters". Sigh.
