Bon pour ceux que ça intéresse quelques précisions de la part d'Andy de Rat Valve Amp:

Hi, Yes, I know all about the forum and I do look at it quite often. It makes me feel happy that people appreciate my work, a lot of my Amps go to France. Thanks......
Your Questions - -
Ebay is a total Ripoff and I hate it, but, it is a necessary evil as I need to Advertise my Amps on it. I pay Ebay and Paypal 14% in fees every time I sell and Amp. Sometimes the 14% Fees are more than the Profit I make on the Amp. The Prices on the RAT Web site are cheaper because there are No ebay fees to pay but if a customer buys an Amp from the Web site, they might still pay by Paypal, which charges me 4% in fees for the Transaction. As far as the French Forum goes, please let everybody know that I can always offer a much better price for Direct Sales and Payment by Direct Bank Transfer (NO Ebay and Paypal Fees). I will always do my best for the French Forum Members and can usually offer a better price than shown on the Web site.
The RAT Plexi 18w Amps - Unfortunately these Amps are VERY Labour intensive to build as every part is done by Hand. The Amps were costing £300 in parts and I was (to be competitive) selling them for £500 to £600 - I just can not do it. I think the name for this (in the UK) is 'Busy Fool'. I may decide to make some more of these Amps in the future but the price will have to be much higher......
Thanks for your Support....... Cheers Andy
Pour les non anglophones:
En gros la différence de prix entre le site et Ebay se justifie à cause des commissions perçues par Ebay puis Paypal. Donc si vous voulez bénéficier du meilleur tarif, contactez le directement et optez pour le virement bancaire.
Concernant le Plexi 18w il n'en fait plus actuellement car c'est pas vraiment rentable pour lui. Il ne marge pas assez par rapport au temps que prend la construction d'un tel ampli. Il en pourra en refaire par la suite certainement mais à un tarif plus important que par le passé.
