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

As Amie said these are most likely old models, the current versions are all M80v2's as well as the VP150v2, so the technology on these speakers may not be up to their current models.

I think the issue is that they are represented as "new" and potential buyers would expect the "latest" version/ technology. While they may be "new" (never sold or used before), they appear not to represent the latest Axiom technology.

At least for me, this is a bit of a misrepresentation.

For those that did not track, the older m80 went for 912.00 with 150.00 shipping, the vp150's went for 270.00, 261.00 with 50.00 shipping. In my book not great deals for older equipment without Axioms customer service and guarantee.

Just goes to show you that people really get involved in their ebay bidding, probably too involved.

I placed a watch on the M60 and just had an email from the seller saying they were moving them to a 'buy now' site, $720 for a pair Cdn. I sent him an email asking him when the speakers were made if they could tell. See what happens.

Please keep us informed.

Is axiom in trouble? Why do they allow themselves to engage in a smear campaign against a reputable eBay seller by insinuating he is selling “old” speakers. The idea that a manufacturer is trying to prevent his products from being sold on eBay because it is less expensive is unheard of. Imagine all manufacturers are doing the same; this is a vision of a disturbed mind. Axiom has, by its own admission, eliminated the retailers in Canada and is obviously exploiting its market position to sell overpriced manufacture. Only a simple mind would believe that axiom’s prices are “factory prices” ; they are RETAIL PRICES. I congratulate the other poster at this forum who states that a saving of $200.00 on an m80s is an immaterial amount. For some of us it makes a difference. A more important question is: when do axiom speakers become “old”????? How quickly does axiom technology become obsolete???? Please tell us: How quickly does axiom technology become obsolete????
If it would not be so futile I could go on and on raising questions about the motivations of axiom and its trembling before the face of a competitor.

Wow, that's a credible post from a newbie.

The real question is, how did they get their hands on new speakers if Axiom has only been selling direct for the last 2 years?

I think Dennis (Tharkun) has the right of it; some Canadian retailer had leftover and used this liquidator to sell them.

"they appear not to represent the latest axiom technology" ???? are you psychic?

Awful aggressive for someone who doesn't have a personal stake in this--unless you're the retailer? In which case, come on out and say it. Explain where you got them, and reassure us that you're selling legit products.
