    That is Al (dangerboy) in the picture. If you google images of SDA SRS that picture comes up in the first page.

    Who knows. Not uncommon for sellers to grab pictures from the net....but makes you wonder why.

    I wouldn't consider 1500 for a pair of SRS's an outstanding deal, YMMV.

    Agreed, especially since he can't even provide "real" pictures of the pair he is selling. If I was expecting to get that kind of money for an item, I'd sure as hell get off my lazy butt and shoot some nice photo's.

    Agree that the ad seems "off". Why the other apparently random pics?

    Not all that long ago that the price would have been just fine... even with the needed glue job.

    If they were nearby, I'd check them out... thoroughly...
    More later,

    I find the original post to be a bit odd as well. I suspect the OP is in fact the seller....

    Yes, I normally post in the wtb section, but this thread is already up...

    http://cleveland.craigslist.org/ele/2204418699.html

    Back up at $1000. Not even sure if that is the same name/number in the ad so, but the pix make it the same poster. Heads up if you are looking.

    lol here is all the conversation consisted of...



    me....
    Matt Shaw to sale-qvevv-220.
    show details Feb 12 (1 day ago)


    pictures please. located in indianapolis and very interested, thank you. assuming all woofers and passive move freely, voice coils in great shape and all tweeters are in working order. pin/blade interconnect?


    him...
    Hello Matt,


    All woofers and teeters are in good shape pin/blade interconnect is included. Side cloth needs to be replaced (i personally would replace all,but thats me) and small dent on back of one of the cabinets.


    This is a wicked good deal for the money, I had them up just short time ago for $1,500 still was a wicked good deal. However I have a man coming over today around four pm to look at them, he'll probably buy them unless you want to offer more money.


    Let me know soon.


    Regards


    Geoff

    from him... i lol'd a bit at "find the speakers i want".
    Sorry you didn't like my ad.

    I don't own a digital camera anymore so I used a pic off of google.

    It's done all the time on eBay so I didn't think anything of it
    (the guy in the pic looks just like me)

    Plus the speakers were in storage. Close to twenty miles away.

    I currently have no vehicle due to mine recently being stolen.

    I sold the Polks so I can get a replacement vehicle to move out of state.

    The speakers were sold. So I deleted the ad, just like I'm suppose too.

    Sorry that you lived too far to see them in person.

    Good luck in finding the Pair of speakers that you want.

    i received this without even responding to him telling me they were already sold about 10 hours apart. whatever.
