    I hate when people do that on Craigslist! Starting high and going lower is fine, but starting low and then go higher is uncool!

    That just shiws that he didnt know what he had, and someone told him what they are worth so he "corrected" it..

    Still.. figure out a price first BEFORE you list something. So frustrating

    those are SDA2a not worth 400.00

    @la2vegas,
    Yes the pictures didn't look too promising. That is too bad.....

    I am kind of eyeballing those 3.1tl's in Orange County. It would be a day road trip for me from Phoenix.

    Yeah! The Colorado 1.2's was a smoking deal. Unfortunately for everyone else except for the lucky person..... I do feel for you.
    After that I too would be jaded on older SRS's that are less than prestine.....
    Are you in the LA Area? Curious how often do you find any cool audio deals there?

    Heck if I would have landed those 1.2's in Colorado, I would have sold you my 3.1tl's at my cost of $350.

    Well if you do find your dream 1.2's.....keep me in mind. :-)

    You have the same problem I do. I try not to act on every good deal here in Phoenix (or I would go broke...lol).
    Smoking deals you almost have to ;-). And yes I hate the ones that get away as well.......

    You're moving from Colorado to Arizona? Are you feeling alright? Sick? You might want to go see a doctor before committing to that.

    On second thought the Denver area is seriously crowded, might be better if a few people leave. :)

    Best of luck to you. Won't be as cold in the winter, so that's a plus right?

    Guy here in town is at it again.... No affiliation:

    https://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/ele/6002614270.html

    Lets just say his ad has been up and down on the Phoenix site more times then a yo yo.
    I contacted him as soon as it came out originally. Had them listed as Polk SDA SRT's (yes SRT). No pictures and no asking price but described how many drivers. I emailed and asked how much and the response was a set sold on Ebay for $3,000 but shoot him a reasonable offer (I checked Ebay and the only SRS's that sold recently were newer 1.2's for $1,700 so I don't know what he is talking about).....

    They have since made modifications to the ad to include wants $1,500 cash and $1,500 in trade. To finally I think they had $1,500 or best offer. Then the ad disappeared so I figured maybe they sold...... But they are back. While I wouldn't mind getting a set of SRS's they appear to be the older blade/blade original series. Also he told me nothing has been done in the way of modifications on them.
    This goes back to what you said @la2vegas about the modified 1.2's up in Denver........ sigh....
    I don't know I will keep an eye on these but I just get the feeling he doesn't know much about them and yet thinks he has a gold mine.
