    I see, so what you're saying is, we should contact Evans first to see if he has what we want to buy before we post.

    WTB ads here historically have had scammers crawl of the woodwork, it's a known problem. Once Polk tied our FS/WTB ads to HiFi shark the problems began.

    How coincidentally lucky! He has a pair of RT35, a CS1000p, and two PSW1200s? That's exactly what I was looking for!

    Nice to see the scammers haven't gotten much smarter

    I was just about to give this person my SS#, checking and savings info and my address with the location of my hidden key... as he said he would make it an easy transaction by taking the money out himself, coming over and dropping the speaker off and even setting it up in my listening room! What a nice guy huh?

    Every time I buy from myself, I get buyer's remorse and I file a claim against myself. :'(

    I'm the opposite. I get seller's remorse, keep the gear and the money, and then try to dodge the claim.

    This is true. I lowbsll lowball myself, and then get myself ignored and can't understand why. But I keep trying to trade myself for a john boat or guns.

    Also it's funny this dumbf**k offered me an Onkyo TX-NR656, the receiver I already have!

    As if I'd want another one 😆

    Nice... it looks like yet another stranger that I will have to give my address, location of my hidden key bank account info, SS# etc so that they can come over and give me a great deal!
