    Yes, it reminds me of one ebay auction I saw that said "stereo" used, works good $150. That was it...really informative. No brand,no anything. it's almost entertainment for me to see these lame listings,even the feedback left by people can be belly busters at times.

    To some people speakers are speakers.
    It never fails to amaze me the people I run into that don't know the brand names of their own stereo components. :rolleyes:

    "Oh yeah....I've got a great stereo system!"
    "Yeah.....what kind is it?"
    "Hmmmm.....I don't quite remember.....I think it starts with an 'S' though"

    lol... Don't fight too hard over them. I've tracked two pair of 5's. One went for $99 and the other for $111. Much higher and you're in range of 7's and 10's auctions.

    Anyone actually heard the 5's?

    If you are looking for the best ads, need assurance of what they are, require all the assurance of buying the best, well, You will pay more for them than necessary... Great example of this: I bought a Jolida tube amp worth about $850 used for $355. Why? The ad said "doesn't sound right, great for a few months but sounds like crap now, comes with the ugly box I got it in. If you don't like it tough, I will give no refund". Yea, I was a little nervous but the money was laying there. When I got it I swapped the preamp tubes (which were in the wrong position) and it is now my one of my favorite amps! (I think the guys wife did a little cleaning one day:D)

    True, but this guy somehow set his opening bid right around what they sell for... Didn't say worth, cause that's a illusive figure.

    Great nab on the Jolida.

    Worth, to me, was what they were selling for used at the time. Next time I'll say "they were selling used ones for $****... Better?

    Actually wasn't aimed at your Jolida statement...

    I had typed that the Mon 5's were starting at what they were "worth" and corrected myself... cause I don't know if they are worth $100.
