What's the going rate on these in good shape, no mods? I was only able to find a sale on eBay but it had a number of mods on it and the listing had not much info

I bought a mint VHT D120 head quite some time ago for $850 off of a TGP seller.
I personally wouldn't give more than $900 for one.
When you get into the sellers asking for $1200 or more for a Deliverance, you may as well take the next step up and go for a VHT/Fryette 100/CL with EQ. You can buy them all day for $1200.

I've paid between 650 and 850 for either Deliverance at some point or another.

Thanks for chiming in everyone - found one locally for $900. Asked about the price and they said it was priced as marked, no haggling. I'll wait a bit to see if the price lowers. And pop back in in a while to see if they have any wiggle room after it sits for a bit.

Mods?
If it has a effects loop added would be a worthly addition

Christ I feel so sorry for Steve Fryette. His amps new are 3000 plus. What motivation would anyone ever have to buy new from him at this point? I can see why he is getting into the load boxes and stuff hardcore lately.

Its weird because his amps are some of the best ever, at least to me

TBH, the USED prices and KNOWLEDGE base about these amps VARY greatly.. I've encountered owners that don't even know what they have kuz the plates been ripped off for one reason or another. (so many 50/STs being sold as 50/cls its crazy)
the last VHT i saw with an actual price was a D60 for $700 Canadian.
I think the Re-brand hurt the brand more then it help the brand stay afloat during the down time in 2008-2010. Stores didn't understand, those not on gear forums had no clue wondering why they can't get their warranty looked after, and nothing but new low watt clean combos. and low watt heads that have no similarity other than aesthetics from the old ones.
He isn't exactly doing much to help his plight though. He ceased operations with Canadian distributors, decided to go factory direct. If shipping and customs to Canada put his amps at a price that exceeds Diezel's, I can't imagine how much it is to get an amp of his over seas.
I've played them, they are great. But cost to value he rules him self out of as a new option constantly In Canada.
Used.. well that depend on the seller.
see the power amps all the time, but seeing a Head in the wild in Canada outside of a pro touring player is exceedingly rare. They didn't have distribution up here for long.

They pretty much quit building amps many years ago as the market moved to small amps. The business is actually doing better than it ever has. They are having a difficult time keeping up with the demand for the newer products. As the collapsed of music gear sales from physical stores died and was replaced with on line sales they dropped out....They did not just change how distribution is done in Canada. It was the same worldwide. At the same time we saw many go out of business or sell the entire company.
It has always been a very small business. There was never a time when anyone saw a lot of these amps anywhere. I have lived in 38 of the States and I can count on one hand how many times I have seen local bands using the amps. I can say the same of all the small amp companies.
Selling the name they got way more than it was worth.... and it turned into the biggest free advertising they could ever get. Everyone was talking about it. They actually sold more amps than ever before. The Sig X by far became the largest selling amp they ever built.
None of this speculation. It all came from conversations I have had with Steve and the few other people that have worked at Fryette.
I paided $900 for my D120 in 2010. That is the ballpark I have seen then used since then.

Not doubting they are doing well. the massive amount of new products that aren't amps are a bit of an indicator. R&D ain't cheap.
on the consumer / music store end of it here north of the boarder we had no clue. If i wasn't a member here at the time I wouldn't have known what was going on.
*shrug* its atleast good that he still has the components to build most of his old amp designs. so there is still the option to get one built to suit,

Even if you were on the forums you would not have known what was going on. They never talked about it in public. The forums were filled with all kind if crazy stories made up by people that had no idea what was going on.
Must be human nature.... I see the same type of behavior all the time on the internet and off.

All said and done, Fryette appears to be doing better than Randall/US Music Corp! Something to be said for that!

Well from a player stand point, Did I need to know more than they changed the name, and retained the IP and right to produce? its not like we hadn't seen that sorta thing before in different shades
that is what I took away from the post you made about it 9 years ago
I might not have been reading at the time but 6-8 months later post came in useful and informative.
