Just bought a Pair of Rocket 33s from the guy. I wanted the 88s but he gave me way to good of a deal on the 33s.
Anyway. Probably could get the guy to go in the lower 200s for these. He wanted around 160 for the 33s ended up paying about 125 all said and done.
My postage for shipping was about 16 or guaranteed 2 day shipping USPS.
Just figured I'd post in case someone had wanted a pair of them. He said that the 88s sounded more detailed than the 33s, and I figured my gear isn't high end enough to tell the difference.

Yeah, I mean the 33s go for around 300 a pair. For about 140 with shippuing and such I really could not go wrong. Eventhough its the pvc jacket an not the cool looking mesh one...but oh well.Receiver

I guess they can get away with using that name now that Oldsmobile isn't around anymore.:D

Hmm, I never noticed that. That is one odd looking car thought.Receiver
