What moves the price

Sold-listing reading: fair $630, good $1,041, excellent $1,062 USD · 11 sold listings · as of 2026-10-14. Vibro Champ is a DIFFERENT model (tremolo) and is not in models.json, so those lots are excluded rather than mixed in; 'Fender Champ Lap Steel' is an instrument and 'Fender Champion' is another amp; Reverb sold-listing pages expose the price and condition but not the exact sale date, so asof = measurement date; no Fair/Poor sale observed; fair = lowest sold price in sample
