why are old school amps worth so much?

Many Chinese people (second hand shop buyer) came to Hong Kong and brought old amp to China since around 2002, new amp are too expensive for them, they like the price around US$1200-20000. Now, in Hong Kong, hard to find things in second hand shop at this price range. Due to supply and demand...old amp became more expensive. The like Mark most, second Krell.
 
One Coustic AMP-150 and three AMP-300, all very dusty in storage for 10++ years. Only one 300 was not mine at one time.

I need that Amp-150 if anyone has a line on one. A buddy of mine recently died and his brother gave him a 150 in the early 90's and he kept it all that time. Shortly after he died within a month the place his stuff was stored at caught fire and the amp was toasted. Between his brother and that amp I think he is going to snap if I don't find him another 150. That was their equivalent of a 20 yr old friendship bracelet I think. If anyone see's one lemme know.

I tried to buy them back from him, lol, no way. He has a bunch of amps, a nice old USA pyle 200rms too. They never come up on ebay. Saw a 500 once it went for hundreds I forget and the top medallion was missing. All but one of those 300s (the copper looking one) were mine at one time, doh.
 
I have a pyle A400 that i might sell soon Its all orginal nothing has been replaced or messed with on this amp. It has a few nicks here and there and its dirty from sitting around Let me know if anyone is inrested
