They're not mine and I do not know the seller. It looks like a great deal. Item #5721651677........Never mind. Some idiot placed the $100 opening bid instead of using "Buy it Now" for $250. The BIN price is no longer available.

$3500?!? Man, with another $3000 you could buy a "killer dinette set".

I've shipped a lot of speakers through UPS without any problems. We wrap the speakers in plastic (bags or sheets). Then cut cardboard boxes and wrap them around the entire speaker. I lay the speaker on the cardboard and roll it across the floor, wrapping it around the speaker as I go. Then cut, fold and tape the "flaps" on each end, just like wrapping a gift. You can use multiple smaller boxes on this "inner layer" if large boxes aren't available. Then we get 4x8 sheets of styrofoam insulation from Lowes or Home Depot. We normally get the 1" or 1.5" thickness that sells for about $12 to $16 each. Just cut pieces of foam to fit each side and end of your speaker and tape the foam pieces firmly around it. Heavy speakers should get another layer of cardboard and foam. Then wrap another piece of cardboard tightly around the whole thing and you're done. Just be sure to use lots of good quality packing tape on everything as you go. Also, be sure to put your name and address inside the box and insure the package for the speakers full retail value. Good luck.

"Nice going by the way, you made Frank cry" Actually, "Frank" was giving the original post the "sniff test". It failed miserably. Like you said, the story is too bad to be true.

The train to Bangkok that Rush sings about? Cool.

How about some pictures of the twins.... to provide us with the proper inspiration.

Does anybody here know this guy? I just looked at a map and he could be in trouble. Boca Grande is on a tiny strip of land off the coast and Charley passed very close, if not directly over it. I hope they're ok.

I highly recommend you buy the Chorus speakers. You can sell the RB-5s and get most of the $400 back, if necessary. Good luck!!

You don't owe him anything. I would respond to his e-mail one time only. Then put it behind you.
