    John, don't even bother. When I inquired about them +2 weeks ago he wanted to show me receipts/etc. for what he paid. I showed him links on ebay and F/S threads here to show him todays market price new/used. He wouldn't budge even though I was seriously interested in his speakers.

    Just for sh!ts and giggles, I should email him again. But seriously the last time I heard from him was when he sent me a link to KINGPINAV's ebay ads of their speakers' excellent condition, after that I just told him to go eat **** and die.

    right but if i'm not mistaken, Kingpin's prices are usually way below original retail as well so the guy must be off his rocker, if he's using king pin to justify it, which really justifies your argument..

    his responses...



    I sent the guy this...

    brand new means never owned. would you buy a new car from a dealership that was
    three years old even though it had never been driven? Of course not. I do not think you
    to be a fool, but please do not mistake me for one either.

    his reply..



    This guy is an all day long F'tard....



    I understand that in reality something is only worth how much someone is willing to pay for it. If your an idiot like him and pay extra more than fine, thats what you thought they were worth, but no one is ever going to buy your crap if you are clearly above market value and the market doesn't justify what you are selling it for. This guy is insane, I don't care what you paid for them **** years ago, they are not worth it plan and simple.
    Also if he has so much money to not even know what to do with, then why is he listing them on such a low place like craigslist? I mean surely he could at least ask his co-porsche owners if they would want to buy them.
    dumbass.
    and talking down to people really is a great sale technic, I mean wow, I want to insult somebody that asked me a question, good one, you'll go far in life.
    and if something is advertised as new but is 3 years old, technically I don't think you can do that, its not the current model. yeah you can say its prestine condition, but it would be an old-new model. and using it even once is not new, its used.

    "Take advantage of this Brand New 42" Plasma TV with SRS Trusound HD Digital Audio Technology.
    I woke up early and battled the Black Friday crowd so that you don't have to. Just call me your personal shopper. This item retails for well over $700, but I am asking for $600. "

    Funny... this was the 42" plasma for black friday at walmart. It "retailed" at $499... and has recently dropped to $448 and $399 depending on the market... It never, NEVER sold for $700 as this was a one off single order for Walmart. They don't normally stock it! That would mean the retail was $499... and he wants $100-200 more than it would be new!

    I will say though - it's a rebadged samsung :)

    haha i responded to him saying I'll take them and even told him if he would ship them I'll pay for that too. I doubt he is serious on this. but that is pretty dumb, he gets all mad but when you show him the facts umm yeah, he has really nothing to be mad about.
    Moron. Hell I'm trying to sell a snowboard right now that I bought for 300 + dollars about 2 years ago that I never used and I'm asking less than half and still can't sell it. its just plain stupid what some people think they are going to get selling stuff.

    Well... much as he's being a baby about it... they're worth what the market says they're worth. The seller doesn't decide the worth.

    He can go blow a goat. I'll give him $50 and no more on the pretense that he's a moron in general.

    What can I say, sometimes I like to fuel the flames.

    I'm not gonna let anyone get taken advantage of over this... and now all of chicago land knows about it..

    On another note, this one is funny:

    http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/ele/1518189100.html

    This guy has 600 cds 'exact digital copies' on his 80 gig music server....and it's only taking up 5% of the hard drive.

    600 cds in 4 gigs? Dang that's some awesome exact digital copying.

    Average 600meg cd x 600 cds (i know cds are larger but a lot of cds aren't full) = 360 gigs!

    It's too late now, he knows people are out to get him now...but...

    The true beauty of local craigslist deals is you never know who is going to show up for the deal...neither the buyer or the seller. All you Chicago guys had to do is have someone else email/call him....act naive as hell...saying how glad they were to finally have found these LSi9's locally ...agree to him that they have seen them sell for more money and were glad to pay his asking price.

    Mr " I have more money then I know what to do with " would have been peeling rubber to meet these buyers anywhere for the deal. Funny thing is the naive ready to fork out the cash buyer doesnt show up to the agreed parking lot for the deal.....the guy ( Or take your pick in this instance...he has told you all the same thing ) he has told to **** off numerous times shows up. Remember, he has never seen any of you...doesnt know what you drive...and if just emails has no clue what you sound like or look like...doesnt know you from Adam.

    They will smile , shake your hand.....you check out the item they are selling ( Actually you dont give a damn, you are just checking the vehicle for easily accessed weapons ;) ) Then you casually ask if they make it a habit of telling people to **** off ?


    Their faces go from I'm gettin paid happy as **** ...to one like those busted pedophiles on tv heading out thinking they are meeting a 14 year old for sex and get a microphone in their face and handcuffs on their wrists.


    Thats why I love local craigslist...nobody rips you off from 4,000 miles away...and there are consequences for those who like to spew **** from their keyboards. Of course this is reserved for only the truest of ****, but this guy would have been the perfect candidate.

    at least you got a response, he didn't even say anything to me! :( I'm so sad now.
    And this also goes to show how immature people are, its like really your going to post your email in a CL ad. wow, how old are we? 12, I can't see his myspace seeing I'm at work but I should just add him and say wow I just wanted to see if your profile says your 12 seeing you act like it on the internet, maybe he should join up with eurowifefinder.com guy and have a big ol' party. they'll get along well.
