ebay stupidness

So I won a pair of Tsi100's off ebay but they are not delivered yet. The user posted pictures that showed the front of a Tsi200 and the back of a RT10i. I did a bit of research and found that the seller stole these pics from the user "solarrdadd" here on the forums. I can't wait to see what I receive in the box. At least I have Paypal to try and get my money back if they are wrong.

    Wouldn't that be "buyer stupidness" to bid on something when you knew all that?

    Sure, I thought the same thing, but if I get a nice pair of Tsi100's then it worked out, huh? $70 for a pair of $200 speakers isn't bad IMHO.

    Even if it works out, it doesn't necessarily make it a good decision.

    I agree, but we've all made dumb decisions in life. I'll count this as one of mine.

    For me or him? If you are referring to him, I guess he just grabbed the first picture that looked like a non stock photo. I expect to get a pair of Tsi100's, not 200's. I just don't know why he didn't just stick with the one stock photo instead of goggling for someone else's pictures.

    I hope you you enjoy your new set of white van speakers.
    Not quite as bad as a box of rocks, but almost as bad!

    But seriously, I hope you make out ok. There's a whole lot of *holes
    here in Dallas that do craigslist ads for Polk, but show up with no
    name knock offs.

    I once bought a "box of unidentified junk" on ebay just for the fun of it. It was mostly junk.

    I hope you make out ok. The internet is chock full of worthless
    *holes looking for a quick buck. That's why shopping here in the FM
    is so much better. Do you steal deals? No, but that's a two way street.
    Better buyers and sellers.

    Yes Zero, I was talking about the seller. And I hope you get what paid for, literally:)
