    Oh, I see, keep the deals for members. Members that have 100 posts that is?? Hmmmm

    Yes I know the 100 post thing is a hot topic, but I simply wanted to point out those other threads. Feel free to post there, or here, whatever floats your boat....

    Eh, its technically in the Flea Market which consists of a "Wanted" section and a "For Sale" section. Whatever floats your boat, but keep in mind anything you post on this thread can be searched and viewed by any person on the web, forum member or not.

    So while you think you may be posting a screaming deal you found for Forum members to get some SDA's, you might actually just be helping someone who never joins the forum snag them from a fellow Polk Member that wants em...

    Agreed with Endershadow, plus it's just the same 2 or 3 people posting. I always used to like this section of CP cause of the informative threads, insights and sometime awesome pics of refurbs.

    Glad someone's taking inventory!! It's a thread talking about SDA deals for crying out loud. If you don't like it, don't look. Sometimes there a deal, sometimes there's not!

    yeah, didn't see it before. I see this one though?? If that's the main macoomba thread for sharing SDA deals, sticky it. I would have added to it if I would have seen it. I am not good with hunting threads, but that one looks good too! More deals the merrier!

    Polk Audio SDA 2B floor-standing speakers in near perfect original condition.
    The speaker surrounds are also in excellent condition, with no signs of any deterioration.

    The top and bottom of the speaker cabinets are oak, in a light color as noted in the pics.
    (Actual color of the wood is lighter than shows in the pics).

    The original Polk Manual and original Polk SDA Interconnect cable are included in the sale.
    the original owner of the speakers.

    Wow...I wish I lived near Detroit as I'd pick up those SDA 2Bs. The challenge with buying large and heavy speakers like the Polk SDA and SRS series is finidng a pair locally because there is no way those things can be shipped. Besides risk of shipping, can you imagine what it would cost to ship those speakers? I hope I can find a pair of SDA 2Bs in that price rannge in the NY or Boston area.

    Thanks for the shipping tip. I assume shipping cost will be prohibitive but I hope I am wrong about that. I will check it out but I do not want to pay as much for shipping as for the speakers. I know they weigh a ton. Thanks again.

    Tweets are $48*8 tweets +tax $450 that's about right.
    But I think $1250 is correct.
    TLS would be $1500 IMHO, thanks.

    One more time and here's hoping you two get it, THIS section is for "Vintage Speakers" which is listed under "Special Interests" with a sub header that says "A forum dedicated to your hobbies & interests in audio." note it does not mention anything about deals, scores, etc;

    Now as I posted last time, I was trying to point out that there was another section which is called

    "Wanted (WTB) Classifieds"
    Looking for something specific? Post your WTB ads here"

    Above mentioned section has a sticky, started a little over 7 years ago, specifically for SDA's as seen below

    "Sticky: Looking for SDA's? Updated info here!"
    http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?29951-Looking-for-SDA-s-Updated-info-here!

    Right below that it also has another sticky as seen below

    Sticky: Looking for Vintage RTA / Monitor's? Updated info here!
    http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?97790-Looking-for-Vintage-RTA-Monitor-s-Updated-info-here

    I can appreciate your enthusiasm and wanting to share but seriously it's pretty much just a back and forth conversation between you two.
