They never pop for sale here, the guitarist I bought my Wizard from had 2 and said he sold them to buy more Orange 4x12's because they actually sounded better to him. And the shop he sold them too wants like $1100 each

EDIT: just looked at the pictures. i guess they're not exactly making a secret of it's heritage either, but i reckon the engraving is something buyers would want to know about.
From what I've read most of the Sleep rig was purchased by Hank 3 which is pretty cool in its own right. And your right theres not much magic to a cab but to have the cabs used on dopesmoker would have a really cool story and nostalgia behind em. I do agree that its pretty cool that the seller's not hyping that its a HoF cab but atleast shows the engraving as not to hide it.
Since Matt is being talked about in here thought ya might like to see some of his old gear I have acquired over the years.The original greens used on Sleeps legendary Jerusalem record.And of course the almighty Legend 120 matamp. As far as pedals go for you biggest tone for the cheapest buck,would be a rat with a lm 308 chip on a battery not powred with a adapter.

Weeeeeeeiiiiiird man. Even weirder, I found it instantly on Google...Greco Shrike. Looks like this one is missing some parts and a little beat, but the nice ones apparently sell for a buttload. Well, maybe a moderate buttload, depending on the capacity of your posterior. Someone might get a good deal.
