After talking with him, here's what I think. He says he used this system very little because he worked all the time and is being relocated for work. He wrapped them to have them ready to move. I don't think he's an audiophile or even thought about people wanting to listen to them. He just wants to sell them. If they are in as good condition as he says, I may go ahead and buy them. It could be a great deal... I can't imagine that all of the drivers are blown but I guess they could be. I think he has a lot of money and bought a good system and maybe just didn't use it that much.

Hope and pray I'm right!!!!!!!!

Shouldn't be too hard to unwrap the speakers. Go buy a cheap avr to test them with, use an ipod feed or just the radio to ensure all drivers are working then take the receiver back or use it in another room of the house.

Or, buy a cheap receiver from BB, then return it. "Didn't like it. Too cheap!"

and I was worried that if I suggested that, people would accuse me of abusing the system shocked

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.............. cool

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. mad

Still a great price but I'm home now with no speakers........... frown

Even at $1700 it's a good deal.

That's screwy, though. Advertising at one price and then telling someone in person it's more, that's just messed up.

Sort of like advertising a sweet rental at $1000 on CL and listing it somewhere else for $3500... bastards.

I've bought stuff at BB and taken it back, but it was either because I couldn't get it to work right, or I changed my mind and wanted a different one.
