Yeah, I use craigslist for everything I want to sell, and occasionally for things I want to buy. When you post something, generally people will come to your house to pick it up. I've occasionally delivered items if the buyer didn't live too far away and didn't have a car big enough to haul the item away.

Didn't know it was only done by local areas with no shipping. That makes sense then.

There's nothing to prevent you from shipping to anywhere you wish, but craiglist's user base is large enough (in most areas) that you can usually find buyers locally if the price is right.

Back on the subject at hand... Every time I demo my system for a friend using the master and command battle scene in the beginning, I get a grin ear to ear.

The most recent situation tops the cake. I sat my friend in the sweet spot (he is no audiophile by any means, could really care less for crazy sound and LFE). When the cannons fired from the fog (the first cannon fire made) he actually flinched in his seat when the LFE came through and the cannon balls were tearing the ship apart.

He told me after he was not expecting to "feel" the cannon fire in his seat. Now THAT is an Axiom moment! I even warned him ahead of time that it would be pretty loud, he didn't give it a second thought before it all started. Now that he has heard my system, I think he know what kind of sound movies are supposed to have!

On bridgmans entry, we babysit my parents dog sometimes, she happened to be here this weekend, and just goes crazy when she hears "voices" from the surrounds, she runs upstairs expecting burglars or something, quite ammusing! She also goes barking every time subtle LFE plays (like a heart beat).
