    Somehow, I ran across these on a "local classified site" in Fargo, ND. Lots of other Polk speakers in other states on "shoppok". Never saw this site previously.

    How the h3ll do you do that to neoprene surrounds!?

    Admittedly I'd still buy them at that price... What can I say: I'm a Polk w-h-o-r-e

    "Score" was for la2vegas...

    Already have a set of 1Cs in the living room right now. I am thinking about these.

    https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/ele/d/oceanside-vandersteen-model-2/7050374222.html

    Not polk and the picture and description are both lacking, but could be a deal?

    I think this is the same set of 1B's posted before. After this price drop they are harder to resist. Someone should go get them. For $220 if they are as good as they look in the pictures.... No affiliation.

    Too far for me. If I was closer I would already be in the car.... Great deals for both.

    wayyyy too much

    So I originally posted this a week ago. Still FS for 12 hundie. And I noticed the seller has them on eBay for 11 hundie. I'm thinking that he most likely would accept $1000 or less, to avoid paying any fees.

    Is $1000 too much? Asking for a friend. :smile:

    Yes. My pin-blade doughnuts were had for 450... And in as good of shape. (The grammar seems off in that last sentence)
