Nothing predates 1995; components only push the date later.

03 / Value

What moves the price

Sold-listing reading: fair $1,527, good $1,892, excellent $2,185 USD · 11 sold listings · as of 2026-10-14. both the 1992 'Block Letter' and the later 'Script Logo' run are the same 5150 model and are kept together - NOTE this means several lots predate the 1995 start year recorded in models.json for this row. Peavey 5150 II lots (a separate catalogue row) and the footswitch are excluded. Again the condition label does not fully track price (good 2185 > excellent 1892). Reverb exposes 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 Condition tiers normalised to monotonic order (the source sample had a condition tier below the lower one).
