    I'm sure he wants more than $20. He wants to auction them off to the highest bidder.

    Maybe he wants 'an offer he can't refuse'! Just a thought.

    They look in good shape....

    He's a moron. Move on. Either it's already sold, he's got them up on ebay
    and CL, or it was a scam. After 4 days, move on. A deal around me goes
    minutes after it hits CL. And he's waaaay to lame to pull the ad.

    His ad does violate CL posting rules, but that's beside the point.

    He just returned my call and said the bid is at $215.00, when I asked about the drivers and tweeters he said he thinks they all work.....:confused: seems a little shady to me.

    Flag him, auctions are not allowed.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    I think we should F with him. Let's say........call and offer 670.00 and you'll be there with cash in hand this weekend, sight unseen/heard. Then before the weekend gets here, have someone else call and offer 720.00 if he can wait until the following Thursday........

    You get where I'm going with this? :D

    I'm only kidding but it would be funny to see him WANT to follow the rules next time and just put an asking price on the damn things.......not that he would follow them........

    Like I said, an idiot. He'll play the game for days, and if you do show up, he'll
    have sold it to someone else. I really get torqued when some *sshat
    has it on EBAY and CL. You know somebody is going to get screwed on
    that deal. It's as bad as a Polk FM ad for an "interest check".

    In this case, yes. But I've bid a on bunch of stuff in DFW that showed up on

    I've bought and sold a lot of audio gear on CL. For a free resource, it's worth what it costs :D

    You sure run into some asshats though... Sheesh! :rolleyes:
