    You'd really think people would search a little bit beyond the MSRP when their researching how to price a product.

    You could get a pair of those brand new for a third of the price he's asking.

    A fool and his money are soon parted... in this case a buyer that thinks the just struck gold or the seller for wasting his listing fee with E-prey.

    Not "them", "it". The listing is for a single speaker, unless I am reading it wrong.

    Can you say, delusional?

    I thought you could.

    it says speakers and the picture shows two so I really hope it's for the pair. I sent him a message asking him what else was included seeing they are listed at 919/pr on Polk's site at full MSRP and they typically sold for about 800/pr in stores. We'll see what he comes back with...

    He's probably selling prototypes signed by Matt Polk? Hence the extra few hundred dollars!

    His response.

    " Hi they are a closeout originally they sold for 1999 anyway do they have any left, i could not find they, and you can make us a offer, thanks Scott"

    bet no one here knew the monitor 70's were more expensive than the lsi15's... Guy is a lying salesman. Tool. I told him they sold for ~$800 pr in stores and this was his answer. Wow. Simply wow.
