    I know for a fact, some scammer is going to pull their scam on the wrong guy and end up dead. Going Postal is happening more and more as people think they can scam and steal at will nowadays.

    I was stolen from by a repair team of drug addicts here at home three weeks ago. I find out tonight my neighbors were stolen from by the floor man and his partner from their church.

    These scammers preying on honest people has been going on since day one but NOW, us honest people are maybe going to flip the coin and see how they like the pain in return. The movie" Law abiding Citizen" does a great job of portraying some coin flippage.

    It's going to happen. I feel it coming. Some psychopath or paths are in for a surprise. I just hope the media reports it so millions will see what might happen when you scam or steal from the wrong people nowadays.

    I've got some EPRAY stories but what's the use... Some people will always blame the sellers since it hasn't happened to themselves.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    For starters, it's a "news" story about a blog post, instead of what we should expect from news services, which would be an objective, at-least-somewhat-thoroughly researched report. I'm getting tired of news stories about someone's twitter post, or editorial comments being portrayed as a story. This is more or less what I refer to as garbage news. It's designed to catch people's interest by sparking a little outrage, and upon further review, all objectivity seems to be out the door.

    Sensationalism and controversy (facts be damned) is what most folks want to see/hear for some reason. I guess the news media is just trying to please this segment of their audience. Sad but true.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    The "news" media is only in business to generate advertising revenue. Television executives couldn't possibly care less about serious journalism or quality entertainment. They need stories that will hold people's attention long enough for them to sit through a commercial about junk food or personal hygiene products. If sensationalized, over the top reality show trash or sensationalized "news" is what keeps large numbers of people glued to the screen long enough to sit through five soap, toilet paper, tootpaste or feminine hygiene product commercials, that is what will be shown.

    Which is why I spend most of my free time sitting in front of a computer logged into this forum.
    All the sensationalized drama with no commercials.:cheesygrin:

    Having to sift through the dillholes like this,

    Dear sda1c,

    What happened to your Sunfire Cinema Grand amp for $700?
    Do you plan to relist it. Although it is a great amp the price just a little bit high ( which may be why there were no bidders). Despite the MSRP of your amp, the current market value is much closer to $500.

    Please let me know if you would consider that price. If so, I will buy it tonight if you relist it with a buy it now option through Ebay.

    Please let me know either way.

    Thanks

    to find actual interested buyers with their head at least pulled out of their a$$ is why I don't use Ebay any more than absolutely necessary. I use it more for a search engine than anything else. I'd rather see Ebay destroy about half their dumba$$ buyers/sellers than any of the merchandise counterfeit or not.

    This was my response,

    Dear rocky_z,

    As much as I appreciate your view, you are wrong. More like nuts. I removed it because I sold it for 850, like the rest out there. Thanks and take care...

    I guess you can't blame a guy for trying to screw someone these days. "Everybody's doin' it" right...:rolleyes:

    I wish you had asked dillhole to provide documentation of recent sales at the $500 mark and then told him what yours sold for.

    My favorites are the dillholes who beg you to take their lowball offer because it's all they can afford. I refer them to Goodwill if they want audio gear at charitible prices.

    I was laughing too hard to even pursue his line of thinking. It would have been nice to know where he's getting them for 500 though don't you think lol.

    It would also have been nice to know why he was wasting his valuable time pursuing your overpriced speakers when he knew he could get them much cheaper elsewhere...at the fair market price.

    I think that could be explained with a -Troll around and try to screw anybody I can- type of attitude. People like this are no longer at the major airports my friend. They are everywhere and we must be vigilant (if that's even still legal anymore) to not let them take over and ruin whats left of our morality in this great country.

    That policy really sucks. Most people could not tell if it's real or not. Even if it's not real, you do not destroy it, Morons. Most people I've dealt with in the public can barely hold a conversation or write a complete sentence. Leaving the destruction of anything up to the buyer and Paypal is typical of the times.
