eBay users...im baffled!

[Gringo Starr]

So im just lookin around at some speakers and receivers just for shits and giggles.I know there are manufactuers on the site that sell their own products at reduce prices for whatever reason.THen I notice that there are "middle-men" dealers.I came across a few cats that are selling top-notch hi-fi spekaers at a 10th of what they cost from the actual company.Now, I was always taught that if its too good to be true...then it probably is.Anyone got info or feedback on this type shit?Anyone actually dealt with any of these so called "middle men"???

Heres an example of what im talkin about:

Methinks you should order them and tell us if it was legit or not. :chinese:

Well I just found out some shit.Its a "scam".Ever seen them cats that ride around in a SUV or a van and they pop out with some story about how there boss doesnt know about this inventory and that theyll sell these speakers at a fraction of the price?Well,this is the same deal.Digital Research,Theatre Research...all the same shit.They even gotta website up to fuck with you...crazy shit.

I bought some speakers from one of those guys in the van, and they are the BEST SPEAKERS EVER!!

Seriously?I hope not...from what ive heard...they sound like complete shit...and dont put out the actual power they say that do.

 

[Mr. Nice Guy]

His feedback looks pretty good though. Its possible that the speakers are made of the same components as the name brand models, but sold under a differant name for a cheaper price. I agree with 2-0-sixx on this one; someone buy them and let the rest of us know how they sound...

yeah i had a roommate that bought some speakers form the people in a van. funny thing is that the roommate had no idea about quality. he ended up buying these huge fuccin amphitheatre speakers. he had a little ass room and no real room for the speakers. they were all treble too, no bass.

 

[Gringo Starr]

Im just gonna trust my gut and steer clear of this...too fishy in my book.Id rahter go to a dealer/store that i trust.Ill pay what speakers are worth...you cant get past quality.

Jae dogg. I bought all my audio shit through ebay and it works fine. If you go through life thinkin every deal is a sucker deal then you gonna be broke all the time spending top dollar on shit you can get a deal on. Sometimes there is no catch homie. Plus he is a power seller. Power sellers get the title from selling alot and having a very positive feedback which he has. I have 2 audiobahn AW1200Q subs my NB1 tweets as well as a boss D class amp and a audiobahn 200 watt amp for the highs. The deck is a panasonic 903 all bought from ebay.

Around 800 bucks for all that.
Retail(at the time) was 199.99 for each sub got subs for 49 a peace on ebay. then the deck was 299.99 got it for 149.99 on ebay. Amp retailed at a whopping 500 bucks got it for 200 bucks. bout 1200 bucks would have been in a store. I bought more on ebay but i think i made my point. This all knocks homie. I have had all my shit for over 2 years now and no problems. Came in perfect condition and no catch at all.

P.S.

CMTTRADING.COM is where most of my shit came from only there ebay store.

All I can say about these are that every retail price is jacked the fuck up. Even stores wouldn't sell those for that much.

Ever see retail prices on say DVDs? They always say 24.99 no one in the world has ever spent 24.99 on a plain ol single dvd movie and if you have you are a fuckin retarded moron douchebag.

Go back through dudes feedback and see if you can find someone that has bought the same spreakers and email them.

 

[Mean Mugg]

Do some research, check out his feedback. Here's what I've found for ya and yes if it's toooo good to be true then it is, BELIEVE ME I learned my lesson.

Negative feedback rating tried to cancel order but said no. item nothing like described cheap product by cammymonkey. Here's what the person purchased: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32861&item=5736106711

But many people said item was as described..... I'd stay away.

 

[jay deuce]

If you look that guy was shady from the beginning, he tried to cancel before he got the speakers. Plus it looks like dude had some family problems or somethin.

I'm not defeding him I'm just sayin hit someone else up about the speakers not they guy that left a negative.
