Well I have done that at BB before and totally got beat up on the forums for doing it. Personally I thought it was OK, but..............
I saw the speakers. He had taken them out of the wrap and they looked absolutely brand spanking new. He had them listed on ebay starting at $1400 with a bin of $1750 but didn't get any bids so I was going to offer him $1200 cash on the spot. But first I asked him how firm he was with the $1400 and he said that was only his opening price. His bin was $1750 and he that was what he wanted. He said he might go down to $1700.
Still a great price but I'm home now with no speakers...........
