Ebay LSi15 Sellers...

Hey, does anyone know about the guys on ebay who sell LSi15s one at a time? One guy, "Mitronik," has a couple for sale individually right now. They're looking to go for a low price and the seller claims that the speaker has a full warranty from Polk. Shipping isn't outrageous either.

Are these guys (this guy?) legit, or should I look to a local dealer & pay retail?
Is there any problem w/buying one speaker at a time, while making sure to get one right and one left channel?

Little help here? Thanks!

    Unauthorized dealer, no warranty.

    Thanks for the help.

    So, any advice about the best way to snag some LSi15's? I'm fine w/used or new.

    Here in the FM or from Polk Direct on eBay.

    The warranty issue will have to be a judgement call for anything else.

    Well, that's what I was wondering. Should I be that concerned about not having a warranty? I know I'd be taking my chances, but how often do these kind of speakers have problems? & If I can get the speakers at a substantial cost savings I'd be all the more tempted.

    & How do I find Polk Direct on ebay?

    Really, thanks very much for your help!

    I don't think they've had any notable problems. I think its PolkDirect or some variation thereof.

    Thanks, Keiko!

    I went to the site and noticed that, at least right now, they don't have any floor standers for sale at all. Any idea how often they might - I guess I could email them too.

    Thanks again. (Mahalo!)
