no affiliation. If I had the money I would buy them myself.

(edit) ok, it's a bum deal. Nevermind. :o

    Another red flag is the shipping is only $40 from China.

    Anytime you see a buyer asking for payment only via Western Union for a ridiculously low price bargain such as this one, especially if it is an overseas seller, it is likely to be a scam.

    The seller is probably some **** from New Jersey trying to make a quick buck (no offense to Polkies from NJ).;)

    Stay far away from these crooks. Click on any of the people who left feedback for the seller, then check to see the feedback they left for others: most of them are "no longer" ebay members as of last week...

    Looks like they get caught and then start all over again.
    Receiver: harmankardon AVR235
    Mains: polk R30
    Center: polk CSi3
    Rear Surrounds: polk R20

    Ubid.

    Source is a little different (Hunang, China) but same MO.

    The ebay listing:

    "Seller's payment instructions
    The method of payment that we accept BE: (1)My account of bank(Bank of China). (2)WESTERN UNION. "

    That's a dead giveaway that it is a ripoff.

    The Ubid offering:

    "Will accept cashier's check or money order".

    Yeah, I was drooling, too. :)

    NOTE: Those LsI9's were sold to "Paldiel".

    User ID Effective Date End Date
    paldiel Dec-05-01 Present
    ******@nyc.rr.com Feb-09-01 Dec-05-01
    trancesolo Feb-06-99 Feb-09-01

    It should take "paldiel" about 4 to 6 weeks to realize he's been shafted.

    here.

    Checked out those feedback comments, and SEVEN of the "users" had ids starting with "PS" (PShzaqddr, etc).

    Hope he emails me back, I'm interested in hearing how this turns out.
