Condition unknown makes £40 a sensible but not automatic buy: for a TP22, that sits in the fair-to-good used range rather than a standout bargain. It is cheap enough that, if the unit is working cleanly, it would be hard to call it overpriced; without condition details, I’d treat it as a reasonable ask rather than a steal.
The appeal is straightforward: the TP22 is a compact T-class amp with a TK2050 chipset, about 30 W per channel, and it’s generally well liked as a neat desktop or starter hi-fi amp for bookshelf speakers. Its strength is honest, tidy budget sound and small size, so the upside here is a low-cost way into a respected little amp if it’s complete and functioning properly; if anything is missing, the value drops quickly.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
