The Craigslist Manifesto – amplifiers

Don’t expect to get what your paid for an effect for your used amplifier, that’s just the way it is.

A non working solid state amplifier is practically worthless even if it is vintage, that’s just the way it is.
Retubing and biasing a tube amp is part of amplifier maintenance and does not necessarily increase the worth of your amplifier. It may make your amplifier more saleable but does not increase the value, that’s just the way it is.

Replacing a speaker in a vintage amplifier does not make it worth more than list, that’s just the way it is.

Before posting your amplifier, check the value because if you do not you leave yourself open for silly reply posts on how dumb you are, that’s just the way it is.
