    I see how the structure now and so I can't help but agree with you.
    This thread therefore needs to be removed as I will be using
    the others in the future and this one just creates redundancy and clutter,

    One more time and here's hoping you two get it, THIS section is for "Vintage Speakers" which is listed under "Special Interests" with a sub header that says "A forum dedicated to your hobbies & interests in audio." note it does not mention anything about deals, scores, etc;

    Now as I posted last time, I was trying to point out that there was another section which is called

    "Wanted (WTB) Classifieds"
    Looking for something specific? Post your WTB ads here"

    Above mentioned section has a sticky, started a little over 7 years ago, specifically for SDA's as seen below

    "Sticky: Looking for SDA's? Updated info here!"
    http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?29951-Looking-for-SDA-s-Updated-info-here!

    Right below that it also has another sticky as seen below

    Sticky: Looking for Vintage RTA / Monitor's? Updated info here!
    http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?97790-Looking-for-Vintage-RTA-Monitor-s-Updated-info-here

    I can appreciate your enthusiasm and wanting to share but seriously it's pretty much just a back and forth conversation between you two.

    Looks like a good price on a set of SDA SRS in LA:
    http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/msg/3524668500.html

    Not sure about condition, but $350 could end up being a hell of a deal. No affiliation.

    Of course they are.
    Few in AK were inquiring as soon as the ad popped up.
    That's a great price.

    Good luck next time.
    You really have to jump on deals like that.

    Isn't $700 for 1C's a bit on the high side, even if they are "mint" condition with original boxes and interconnect cable?

    I hate c.l. adds that don't include a phone # so you can at least send a text, people list their wares on c.l. and then never check their email, or a spam blocker catches it. Very flustrating, when you want to pull the trigger NOW

    That's part of an automated, pre-written description that eBay inflicts on auctions. I'm not sure that the person who sets up the auction has a choice about using that bit of text.

    eBay is very creepy that way. Seems to me that they do something very similar for the SDA 1B.
