    I've seen these all over the place, you know you're only bidding on the info right??? These things are usually really time consuming, but I hear they sometimes work...

    even if it isn't a scam, and you actually do get the Bose for $150, you are still getting ripped off by about $148......

    not that im interested in buying BOSE or anything. I just find it odd that the guy is selling the info for $25 on how get it for $150 when it is worth more than that. Why wouldn't he use the info himself to obtain the item and sell it for more. The whole thing seamed strange to me. Just bringing it up to other peoples attention.

    And if it works sometimes that means it doen't work sometimes, so your potentially you could be out of pocket upto $200.


    Anyway, I realize that scams do occur on ebay and I guess I have a little to much free time at work to be finding these things so I better get back to work and do something productive.

    Granted.......

    I dont like Bose

    But if it indeed could work......

    That thing sells for what? 1+ grand? 25 bucks..1 grand, almost a no brainer (if it worked)

    If you dont want to sell it, it would make a KILLER bathroom system

    The way the system usually works, you can only get one of these things per household, so he probably couldn't get a few of them and then sell them. Plus, I hear those things take like three or four hours to complete....and they're difficult...who knows though...
