    You may want to be a bit more specific.

    For example:

    My pot guy got busted, got any friends. . .
    My pants have fallen, please lend a hand. . .
    I locked myself in the bathroom. . .again.
    The tinfoil hat is instructing me to start human trials.
    The mob is after me and I need some muscle.

    (OR)

    I need some help moving some speaks.

    Maybe he's looking for someone to help pick up the soap he dropped.

    Yeah i may need help in the speaker dept. At this stage it'll probably be just to check them out. I'm not sure of the area yet only that theyre in NY somewhere.

    When i get more info i'll let ya know, i'll also send some tweeters to the one that does help me out.

    4 life, there's gonna be probably more than one to help you out so I hope you have plenty of tweeters available.

    What do you want to audition or have checked out for you?

    Well i only have one set of tweeters. Its all in the planning stages at the moment and am waiting for a return email.

    I would rather not say until things are final, it all seems to good to be true....... so would rather share it when its a sure thing and not end up with egg on my face by letting it out early.

    My guess would be a Polk Audio system he'd now being willing to sell for $500. You really need to ask him a few questions such as:

    1) Is it still available?
    2) What type of Polks are they?
    3) What components does the system include?
    4) What type of shape are they in?

    Yes it wasnt a very detailed ad description, i questioned myself for days as to what made me open it? But i did and found pictures.......

    I asked all the Q's above and told him i'd take them anyways. It was more a pop quiz as to what you'd be expecting to see...........

    Ok, for $800 I would expect to find a pair of LSi15s, a LSIc center, a PW1000 sub, and two dead hookers. Am I close?

    Well here it is, i'm on the verge of getting this deal sorted!

    I opened the ad to find a stereo pair of SRT's, ($800obo)!!!!

    Nuff said, the control center is on the way to New Zealand as we speak and the speakers will ship to a friend in Florida.

    I really thought it was a con as those speakers sat on CL for a total of 34 days without even a query. I cant believe with all the members searching CL that someone didn't trip over them as i did.............

    Weird stuff happens on CL sometimes. A pair of 1.2s sold out west for $100 after the seller couldn't find any takers at slightly higher prices for weeks. Around here something like that would have every man and his dog beating each other with their severed limbs to get in first place..

    I really thought i was being conned, i mean 30 odd days with not even a query???

    The control center is due either tomorrow or the next day and the speakers are shipping fedex to a friend in Miami. The friend in Miami will then ship them to me in New Zealand, a combined trip of about 8000miles (i think).

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    Thanks Ben,

    I saw these in a store in 96 and fell in love with them. I was young(ish), pregnant wife, wasn't gonna happen. My day has finally come, and am still pinching myself......

    BTW They went through Miami, to a friends on the way home. They sat there for a month before i got them movin, was almost about to sell them outta there.....
