    Score! 150 bucks. These babies are minty! On the way to their new home in Michigan!

    So the Mrs asked me, “Don’t you have enough speakers?” I immediately replied, “Yes I do Honey”. Then I got the look. But I was smiling inside! :smile:

    I for one know all about that pain thing. I broke my T12 in a BMX skate park about 10 yrs ago. Lets just say concrete is no friend when gravity takes over 12' in the air. The only thing that moved for 10 min. was my eyeballs.
    [/quote]

    Ok Ivan. I thought you were piling on me. Sorry. ;)

    So this looks like an area where the slightest movement of most anything will move that vertebrae. Ouch! a lotta pain for a while huh? Trying to sit or stand...Ouch again I imagine. Or laid up in a cast for a few months...don't even want to think about that.

    Mine was C3 related for 40 years. I should've been a quadriplegic but for the grace of God, I came back to earth ( yea, that's another story) and .. carried on the best I could and told my story to many people. I was lucky even though I still had the bs to deal with.

    Back to deals.

    Dave, you got a great deal my friend! They look great. And you telling what your wife just asked you... That made me :D like that. I've heard that question too many times and the look...well I just try to avoid getting those anymore. I think 1000 of them has been enough for the both of us here. :s:#

    You guys know what I do now. I work alone... :D

    Any particular reason that my post about a pair of AR-2ax was removed? Are OfferUp links not allowed?

    $325 for all of them!? :o wrong side of the country, and no funds in sight... :(
    P.S. before anyone tells me I should get a job, I'm going to once I have my actual drivers license, but I can't get to anywhere to work without one. :)

    CS-350LS for $100 shipped. Claims good condition, then great condition. One negative feedback out of two items doesn't inspire confidence. There is eBay's Money Back Guarantee, if that's a help. Caveat Emptor. No affiliation.

    Expect that there will be bumps in the road. Choose to not let them rattle you.

    I don't know if these have been reported yet or not (no affiliation). I noticed these came up on the Phoenix Offerup. About 3 miles from where I work. Look like 1.2tl's with a Sunfire receiver. Assuming it is a package deal. I'd be interested if I didn't already have a pair........ ;)

    See I'm out of the loop a couple of weeks and look what I missed...... :D

    I'd say that's a great find at a great price. I thought my p/b's for $200 was a smoking deal......

    Ad looks like it makes it a package deal for both items. I'll take the 1.2's and hope for a lower price without the receiver.

    They are 1.2 TL's since they have the SL 3000 tweeter. Looks like a great deal.

    They look black.... And a bad pick.
    Does anyone know if they ever made black factory panels for the 1.2's? I don't know on this one?
