Is it too much to ask....

I don't think it is necessary to list all the specs but if you are selling an amp the least you can do is state the power rating in the ad. Even so I think most potential buyers will google the amp to see if the ad is accurate.

Hello Elizabeth, what you just said in theory sounds about right but it won't work in these new economic conditions if you intently want to sell. Most Audiophiles need to sell what they have to help make the next purchase. Knowimg that, anything that would inform the buyer including stating the specs is helpful. Another thing is that Audiogon has lost many seasoned audiophiles and there are many newcomers that need to be informed as to the the fitness of the item being sold

Or one can save alot of time & headaches, by running a blank ad and in the heading use the words: "Guess what I'm selling." If they they don't get it right, they should look elsewhere because I'm sure not going out of my way to type in any description or specs that could possibly result in a sale. Because I'm no idiot.
