Let's have a little fun 
Feel free to add your own interpretions
THIS STATEMENT: "This amp is an absolute bargain."
ACTUALLY MEANS: "I got this for a killer price as a demo model and I only ask 300$ more than what I paid for it."
THIS STATEMENT: "I am only a home player now, so this is too much amp for my use."
ACTUALLY MEANS: " After spending 1000$ on power soaks, tubes, speakers and cables, I realise that the amp still sounds like crap. Also it has only 2 channels and 100W, I am gonna sell this to get a 3Ch 150W amp - ROCKN ROLL."
THIS STATEMENT: "Amp has recently been retubed by a qualified amp tech"
ACTUALLY MEANS: "I bought this quad of tubes of the bay for cheap and my friend has a bias rite. We threw them in and the amp still sounds mushy and britty, I am fed up, now you buy it and try if you're more lucky. If you are I will hear your clips and think 'DAMN' and look out to buy another one of the same amp and get some proper tubes biased by a pro."
THIS STATEMENT: "This amp has never been gigged and is absolutely mint"
ACTUALLY MEANS: "I would never take this amp on stage, I don't wanna embarrass myself with such bad tone."
THIS STATEMENT: "This amp definitely has its own thing going"
ACTUALLY MEANS: "The amp sounds wrong on all channels, I don't know for what kind of music style this tone is useful, maybe it has to be invented."
THIS STATEMENT: "Can cover any style from total clean to total all out metal mayhem"
ACTUALLY MEANS: "My Pod X2 can do the same, but much better."
THIS STATEMENT: "Amp was used by artist xxx from band yyy"
ACTUALLY MEANS: "Amp has been exposed to countless beer spill accidents, been treated badly by plane cargo workers and roadies and has run on full blast for every night of the last two years. It might smell a little weird and the Output Transformer has lost most of its function, and actually nobody knows the artist, but I tried my best to make his name sound cool and undergroundy."
THIS STATEMENT: "This amp sounds absolutely great!"
ACTUALLY MEANS: "... compared to my son's Gorilla, but the difference becomes neglectible once you compare both amps on the same cab."
THIS STATEMENT: "Only reason for selling is I have to thin the herd."
ACTUALLY MEANS: "I have already another amp on its way to me, and once this piece of crap has been sold I will get an Axe FX, a Tweaker and a 100W Metal Panel Marshall."
THIS STATEMENT: "This is an absolutely unique one off, special design by builder xxx."
ACTUALLY MEANS: "For unknown reasons the amp never sounded right, so the builder was tweaking the circuit for a while, which made it worse and worse, so he gave up and gave it to me for 1/3 of the normal price. I just got it for the looks and to show off, but now someone else can have this piece of junk - for just a little more than what I paid for it."
