Can one buy a 220 volt power cord with a molded on 220 volt plug to replace the original one so that when I sell the amp I can offer the buyer either 120 volt or 220 volt professionally made power cords?

I was faced with that small dilemma once.  Took about 20 seconds or so 
to make the decision. After weighing the cost of plug vs 10'of three 
conductor line cord, I cut the 110v plug off and wired up the new 220v 
plug from purchased for Home Depot.
My thought was, "I'll let the next owner put on a 110v plug if he likes.
Go price a molded line cord for 220v.  You will more  tthan likely reach 
the same conclusion I did. Btw, the next owner was giggly happy to see 
the amp had been jumpered and the plug changed for 220v operation.
