Word to the wise....1.2TL's on eBay

These are the same speakers, offered by the same seller that sold them on eBay to forum member, Deep Bass. The seller, getting only his opening price of $1500.00, backed out of the deal after the auction closed, making up some story that they were not listed correctly, that he didn't get enough views and some other BS about shipping.

The word to the wise......he may do the same thing to you, so think long and hard about bidding on them.
Political Correctness'.........defined

"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

    I guess it took that long to list them because he needed time to write up that description ;)

    If I remember correctly he (seller) claimed EBay only listed them in Canada and not in the US so he "lost out" on all those potential bidders, or something like that. I noticed he has now started this bid at $1,800 instead of $1,500.
    Sony 60'' SXRD 1080p
    Amp = Carver AV-705THX 5-Channel
    Processor = NAD T747
    Panasonic BD35 Blu-Ray
    Main = SDA-1C Studio with RD0s, spikes, XO rebuild, rings, I/C upgrade
    Center=Polk CS10, Surround = Athena Dipoles, Sub= Boston 12HO
    Music/Video Streaming = Netgear NEO550
    TT = Audio Technica

    Deepbass, please leave the seller negative feedback so that other potential buyers can be warned. Greedy jerks like this need to be off ebay, or at least properly flagged.

    I see your warning, but if any of you get serious about this, my daughter currently lives in Toronto. They've just sold their house and they are moving back to NC (Raleigh - Rocky Mount area) within the next 60 days.

    I could quickly look into a move assist if someone wants to take the risk with this seller. Cannot guarantee the move assist, but I can check. Just let me know (PM me and we can do an email or phone conversation).
