    Yeah, I really like the part at the end under "Seller's Payment Instructions" where the seller says:

    "Buyer pays all shipping. Price is for one speaker. Two are available. Will only accept Paypal!

    I didn't see that the first time. I reported it to eBay as a possible fraud, eff him and his private ID bidder thing.

    lol... and the 2nd one is not even up for auction yet...

    Either fraud or a new level of salesmanship. Winner of speaker #1 would be one hell of a motivated Buyer...

    EDIT: Gotta be fraud. Look at the title of the auction: "Polk Audio SRS1.2 TL Floor Speakers Vintage"
    Speakers, as in plural, then ~10,000 words, then the punchline...
    More later,
    Tour...

    Sharp eyes! I looked at it and read everything (I thought) and didn't realize it was for one speaker! CON ARTIST! At one time I used to want a single one for a center. He would be kinda screwed if someone like that took one and no one else bid on it. :D Wouldn't that be fitting. 0 feedback, the first statement about realities, private auction and the red thing in the pic would have kept me away anyway.

    If you look closely, at the bottom of the "red thing", it says SRS 1.2TL. It looks like he lifted a picture from somewhere.

    I contacted the seller and he said he is selling the speakers as a set. Go figure.

    Update:

    It has now become a invalid item......must mean eBay yanked it.
