    You would have grabbed $21.5k speakers for $1.2k? Whoever got them just got the deal of the century!

    I have no doubt they were the same speakers. They came out of a house less than three blocks from my home back in August.

    Okay. It read like somebody bought that eBay listing for $1200.

    Wow, $20K per speaker. I can't imagine finding out I just missed it. On the bright side, $1200 can get you some fine speakers, let alone $40K.

    You know I like moving sales and the garage sale tour then estate sales in general and I know you had your proviso in the 1st sentence. Most estate sales in Jersey anyway are run by co. that liquidate stuff as a living and generally do not give it away or even haggle w/ you.Yes there are times where you can p/u a some stuff but generally they have a computer right there and say see this is worth that much and your asking for it on pennies on the dollar, usually they say thanks but no thanks.Props for picking up some nice stuff,what Mcintosh gear did you get?Also that listing itself looked way professional and overly produced, granted the JBLS are that covetted but for $1200 that's running away w/ them.
