Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Ebay Sales

As Dennis pointed out, the fact that the seller is a liquidator(also that an old VP Zero is one of the items)would indicate that this is probably old stock which some former Axiom dealer in Canada got rid of.

John,

You may be right, but it seems a bit strange that such dealer couldn't have sold its available stock by now. It just makes a guy wonder. [question]

it kinda sucks that i can get the 80s for 130 bucks cheaper than when i bought them direct a few years ago

That's assuming that only one bidder bids and wins the auction. I've seen strange things on eBay, where items get bid up above what people could get them retail for.

Wow - I would DEFINITELY not recommend buying from this character. We haven't had retailers since 2002/2003 - so these are very old speakers if they are even from a retailer. I wonder if the M80 and VP150 would even be the current driver configuration!!! Interesting copyright infringements too. Thanks for pointing this out - we'll see if Ebay will help us deal with this character. Certainly not Axiom direct, ferguson630!

Thanks Amie. I knew that someone from Axiom would clarify the situation. Please let us know what the results are.

I stop browsing on eBay about 4 years ago, at that time, it started to be very difficult to weed out scammers from an honest people, and I’ll bet it hasn’t got better by now. If there’s one thing I’ll hate to do unknowingly (and knowingly ) is to support crooks and criminals. EBay is still good for buying things you can’t find anywhere (antiques, special ed. musical instrument…), but not for everyday items you can buy elsewhere. The old axiom (no pun intended) ‘if it’s too good to be true, it IS to good to be true’ applies on eBay big time.

I noticed that some of the speakers are listed as "new".

maybe I'm missing something here ?? whats the big deal? So what if someone is selling Axioms on ebay, there are ALL kinds of speakers sold on ebay. I checked the items and not ONE that I seen said that it had more than a pair. (many items list Amount Available). Looks like somehone had a few they wanted to get rid of , dealer or not, I don't see the harm in it and what the fuss is about. What if YOU wanted to sell your Axioms on ebay? and sellers copy from the manufacture site ALOT on ebay for their discription, and pics as well. I could be wrong on the #'s of speakers avail. but right now it seems a mountain is being made of a mole hill.

Seeing I started this I'll throw in some more comments. First the seller is implying that he sells overstock, and close outs. As I know there have not been Axiom dealers in Canada for a number of years, and the pics and model numbers appear to be current, I asked the question did Axioim sell of this way and if so, why did they not offer a sale to clients. Most things on Ebay are buyer beware, and yes most people post using the info posted on the makes sites, but the products are not usually current models. It will be interesting to watch and see what they sell for.
