    Pics would be useful...but.....145 for Monitor 10s is not bad....people have, though, done better on that price.

    I've been seeing between $100 and $150 for the ones going up around me lately. Some are over $200 (and for no good reason).

    I got mine a couple weeks ago for $60.

    yeah, I didn't really know what to think as I haven't really researched or looked at the older lines to see what they go for. I'm stuck in the middle of WI and so for me to travel to the other side of the state for a not so good deal, well then its not worth it lol. Now if they were a good deal I could justify a drive but not if people can pick them up for a lot less.

    Its a scam. He's selling the same story here in Seattle.
    http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/ele/1430747013.html

    When you email him, here is the response:

    [Hi there,

    A guy contacted me about the item and has already bought it. If he changes his mind for some reason I will get back to you. I will be putting a lot of stuff up over the next few weeks as between my wife and myself we've been getting everything cheap from this online auction site. If you can't wait for me to put another one up just click on the link below, registration is free.

    ...some spam link was inserted here...

    Good Luck!
    -Rex Madrid]

    I have not and will not click on his link. But good luck getting the Monitor 10B or anything else he is selling!

    The mention in the ad of "It's about as close to new as u get, purchased three weeks ago by my wife" should be a good tip-off.

    Here is an ad for a Camera with the same wording (the actual ad was flagged for removal at CL, but you can still see the cached Google index entry):

    You cost me $10! I was going to buy them for $50, ended up paying $60....

    I'll be raffling them off at Sal's place this Sunday, if you're there you could pick them up for free.....

    This one? http://cnj.craigslist.org/ele/1455502587.html

    Nah probably wasn't me that bumped the price. I first sent an email (on the 8th) asking what model they were, he replied that they were still avail if I could beat $65, but by the time I saw that reply (10th) they had already been sold. I'm sure he got lots of hits. But I'm glad a Polkie got them.

    I told him that it was probably for the better that I didn't come home with a 3rd pair and suffer the wife's wrath. ;) So in a way, Big Dawg, thanks for saving me.

    If I can make Sal's event, and won them, how could my wife fault me?? ;)

    So how do they look?

    Those are the ones...

    They look okay, but are something of a project, I would say....
