At US$1,199, this sits above the old factory-era pricing but that’s not the right yardstick anymore; for a 299-D in today’s used tube market, it reads as fair to slightly ambitious if it’s fully original and healthy, and too high if it needs restoration or has uncertainty around the version/parts mix. Comparable Scott 299-family pieces do turn up around the high hundreds to low four figures, with a 299C example at US$890 and a 299B historical retail of US$220, underscoring how much current value depends on condition, originality, and service history.
The attraction here is the classic Scott sound and build: these integrateds are prized for their smooth, musical midrange, solid tube staging, and handsome industrial design, and the 299 line has real collector cachet as one of the early stereo tube integrateds. If this one is clean, matched, and recently serviced, it can be a very satisfying buy; just make sure the listing is clear on originality, tube set, and whether it has been recapped, because age-related work is where the real cost lives on these amps.
