KARMA - Slimy Oxidized Speaker Wires (Plus a Little Bonus)

OK, so I won’t really karma the slimy green oxidized speaker wires (I can’t even bring myself to call them “cables”).

So, what’s the bonus you ask? How about a nice pair of Polk Audio RT25 bookshelf speakers? These are in very nice shape, have a few VERY minor nicks and one tiny hole in the grill fabric. Drivers are minty. Consecutive serial numbers (114752 and 114753), but the tags are starting to peel off. I’ll cover shipping to CONUS. For you Non-CONUS members, I just ask you to cover shipping costs beyond $30.

Open to all members with at least 100 posts. Also open to members with at least 25 posts and a “joined date” prior to 2017.

We’ll do the usual (or what appears to have become the norm as of late) - pick a number between 1 and 100. I’ll have Jesse @F1nut pick a random number next weekend. Hint - you might be able to sway his pick with a bottle of SPF-450 sunscreen, a pair of vintage Wayfarers, and a pasta dinner (hold the garlic). Don’t ask me how I know.. I’ll keep it open until next Friday night.

Good luck!

    Great karma.

    If I win with 81, they will go to my daughter. I already gave her a set of RT25i's for fronts and some, I think it was, R10's for rears, which these would replace.
