Does anyone from these forums have experience dealing with 'metroplextrading' on ebay? They've got LSi9's for $700 (item 370099140198) and have a large quantity available.

    ^^^ That sounds like an excellent plan - now if only Polk had some LSi9 on ebay for $459 that would be perfect...

    They had them last week, and with the 30% paypal cashback, they were a steal. Just have to wait for them to show up :)

    Fronts: Energy RC-70
    Center: Energy RC-LCR
    Surrounds: Energy Veritas 1.0CM
    Subwoofer: SVS PC12-NSD
    Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR705
    Amplifier: Denon POA-2200 w/ Ben's ICs

    Tell me more about the 30% paypal cashback (although I'm assuming Canadians are not eligible). Too bad Polk Direct can't/won't ship to Canada either.

    Yes please, let's hear about 30% cashback. I'm an American and keenly interested. Can't find any info on ebay or google. Give us a hint, please.

    Cash, really, and not just a credit to an account?

    It's going to be a credit to your paypal account most likely, that's how those things usually work

    I don't think so...MS is sponsoring this through live.com and is picking up the 30%. That's the gist I picked up through a couple of AVS threads anyway. Didn't pay attention to how it works.

    Combo rig:

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)
    SDA 1C, CS400i, SDA 2B
    PB13Ultra RO
    BW Silvers
    Oppo BDP-83SE

    its only 25% now.

    go to live.com, set up an account, do a search for the item you want (LSI 9),
    click the ebay link with the money sign next to it, purchase the product with the buy it now option, pay using your pay pal account, 60 days later they will credit your paypal, send you a check etc. for 25% of the purchase price.

    I just looked at this for a pair of LSI F/X and in the search results it said "You may get 25% back if eligible". How do you know if it's eligible or not? Anyone had this work for them already?
    The only other thing that came up said 7% off from full retail prices.
