How are the Yamaha m-50 amps? Reliable? Worth $150 with the tuner? I was thinking of looking at one. I searched and did not find much information here. I think the guy also has a Nakamichi 610 pre amp which I read a little about here. Thanks.

Yes, it is definitely a solid amp - doesn't run in class-A though for any range of watts like it's bigger brother's though (m65, m80). If it comes with the T-50 tuner, then $150 is not a bad deal but not really awesome. If you don't have something very solid to run your system with already it may work perfect.

Maybe offer $125 and see if he'll take it.
 
I would think that's a bit expensive for JUST the amp, but if it included the nakamichi preamp too, then I would snap it up in a heartbeat.

The M-50 is a fairly good amp, although the M-60, M-80 series are newer and nicer. The M-50 still puts out good clean power - just make sure there are no issues. I have one, but one of the suppressor capacitors blew smoke (the amp still works.)

Just the amp and tuner are for $150.

Most of the Yammie Tuners are not worth much, so it's better off just buying the amp if possible, and $100 for the amp would be reasonable. $150 is a little on the high side even with the tuner. I would value the tuner at about $15.
