    Here's another deal!

    LSi25 + PSW650 - $350 - Utah
    http://stgeorge.craigslist.org/ele/3702932126.html

    I'm still trying to get my pre and amps together and you guys have me salivating over speakers. At some point I will progress to these or the LSiM set if a deal comes along....however, that might be awhile off.

    Did you guys already spend your tax returns already? $350 for LSi25's is a crazy price. Save up for the amp later and go get them speakers.

    Dude, I was headed to St Louis to pick up that set with tax refund in hand...but audio as a whole might have to wait as I need to move again...i just relocated here last year...but my landlord has issues...I gotta go!

    Anyway, here is another deal (via craigslist app for Android:cheesygrin:):

    Used Polk Audio LSiC Center Speaker - $260 (Vancouver, WA)

    Well, I won't jump in front of you man, regardless of how he feels. If you don't get them however, let me know, I have family there who could make a grab for me.

    I would appreciate that. Let me see what he has to say as I called and left him a VM asking what was up. Like I said in the other thread, I offered to have a buddy pick them up tonight and he told me to just wait til Saturday.
    I emailed him about 2pm today, got a reply and then replied back about 2:25. He then sent me his number and I called him around 4:15 after work when he said I didn't need to pick them up today and could wait til Saturday.

    Hey Snake, you might want to PM ZLTFUL and see what he's thinking about doing with these. I have a feeling there could be a chance you still end up with some LSi's, but talk to ZLTFUL about that, I dont want to put ANY words in his mouth.

    Its cool when the community comes together and members respect dibs with CL sellers.

    Thanks for keeping it classy fellas and hopefully you guys can work something out so you are both happy.

    Wow , I told this guy at work about these yesturday morning. He said he was going to contact this guy being that he
    was heading there for a sales meeting Thursday. I am not sure if he did but I know he left early for the trip.

    I'll have to find out, if I can get a hold of him.

    This keeps getting better and better. LOL.

    This was the last email I got from him this morning...
    Ryan,
    I know that it's not easy driving 5 hours in vane and I do have somebody interested in buying the speakers but they have not paid yet and have not decided to do it.

    If you tell me FOR SURE you are coming this Saturday and that you will purchase the speaker set for the agreed (cash only) $XXXX then I will take your word for it and not sell it to anyone else. I just don't want to lose a sale.

    Do you want to listen to the speakers when you get here or have them off the wall and ready to get in your car? They all work perfectly, though. Just let me know.

    XXXX


    It sounds to me like he is taking whoever shows up at his door first damn what he says in his emails.
    I am going to give him a call back after work and try to get this sorted one way or another.

    Somebody nab them damn speakers before I call off work tomorrow and show up in St Louis with cash in hand!

    Just kidding.:mrgreen: But what a missed opportunity....


    I got my RT's at a great deal and my next set will be a deal on a used LSi's, PSB, or KEF set. As much as I would like to save and jump right up to a deal on the LSiM set(asking $2800 and 2-1/2 Hrs away http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/ele/3730092016.html ), I doubt I could spend that much on them. I would go the DIY kit route with some Scan, or Seas drivers.

    ANYWAY, someone buy the speakers because I keep clicking on the link...I can't help myself.......

    I finally got the deal sorted with the guy.
    Have his address and will be on his front porch shortly after 9am on Saturday morning.
    He said his biggest concern was me being that far away.
    But when I was adamant that I wasn't blowing smoke, he relented and said he is now telling people they are sold pending pickup on Saturday.

    My buddy actually lives about 4 miles from him on the other side of St. Charles.

    Anyway, fingers still crossed until then. LOL.
