    Think I'll get accused of breaking the rules?

    Hey, if we are going by the rules of the new forum.....there aren't any yet! Therefore there are none to break and you are good to go Jesse! :lol:

    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Ok, everything has been autographed. I'll work on the shipping this week.

    Since this was such a success we are going to do it again, probably in October. A couple of teasers, a SurroundBar 3000 and a pair of Matt's SDA CRS+. Start saving up!

    Guys, I was very busy last week, but I was finally able to get all but one item fully packed tonight and will get shipping quotes tomorrow.

    wkjeffers, I have a nice box for your heavy **** ****, but I need to pick up some better packing material than I have here, so bear with me.

    Ok, shipping costs and grand totals have been PM'd to everyone.

    Forgot to say, one member paid less than 60 seconds after I sent the PM.....made my head spin. :cool:

    Received my Sony 707ES and all I can say is WOW! this thing is beautiful. Packing was bombproof as well. Thanks to F1 for organizing the auction and shipping these items. I can't wait to see what we get a chance on in October.

    Ah good, glad it got there ok.

    All but one item has made it to its destination. The Denon DVD-2910 is being held up by Canadian customs because they wanted proof of the value. Really!?! I even wrote on the customs form that it was a USED item won in a charity auction. Bunch of ****.

    Sorry for not signing in sooner, just wanted everyone to know package arrived promptly and safely. Packaging was meticulously above and beyond. Speakers are flawless and minty mint, thanks again Jessie for getting Matthew Polk's signature on the center speaker, very nice touch!
