The price of a lot of second hand mainstream manufacturers has fallen a fair bit over the last few years. You see a lot of Marshall's more common modern heads go for around £300 when a few years ago they were going for well over £500.
I think the Triple Rec particularly used to be the 'go to' heavy amp. It now has a lot of competition from Engl, Diezel, Bogner etc, so I do see a few go relatively cheap. Most other Mesas still demand relatively large second hand values.
Add to that the low wattage tube amp popularity.

Agreed (to both posts). I can't say I have that much sympathy. While I've liked the Mesas I've tried, the pricing is ridiculous. You're playing with fire if you market your amps as super-expensive boutique options (when they arguably aren't) and if someone else comes along with similar stuff at a better price, you only really have yourself to blame...
