Do you think the bidders read the descriptions on this?
I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    seller open up the bid on the 11th, ends today, 14th (in a few minutes), changed the description on the 13th (one day before close)..hmmm....negligence, stupidity, or intentional ?

    maybe not retail prices, but for ebay prices it is. Didn't the last pair of 25's go for $1400?

    If it was intentional he/she should be shut down.

    The guy is a joke anyway, he doesn't even HAVE the SINGLE speaker yet?

    Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

    he did meantion its for a LSi25 SPEAKER not for a pair. I think he was just clarifying his point by adding that comment. Also, his seller rating is 32 and 0 Negatives..so i doubt he is ripping the guy off. One more thing--he deals in sound equipment and has sold items of high value to others--just check his rating. Ive sold many items on eBay and know a rip off when i see one. This is not it. Besides thats not too bad a price for just 1 speaker. The LSi25 on crutchfield are for 2300 bucks.

    But he added the notice that it was a single speaker only the day before the auction ended. Three bids had been placed before that. Oh well, the winning bidder should have noticed it anyways, unless he had been tracking this auction for a while.
