mungkiman Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Could be, fella. While knowledge from this forum is often shared freely, it sometimes comes with a price [:-|] Some here feel that this seller shouldn't choose his own reputation, but those might only be the people that communicated with him directly...

Rhetor Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 In the OP's first post, he mentions he will put them on eBay and then ship them anywhere in the world. In his last post, pick-up local or he delivers only. And that discount if you win the bid as a forum members. Just mention it and you will get some kind of unsure discount. Yeah, right. He has had offers in PMs from forum members that he has rejected, period. If he has a sister, aI wonder ifmshenknows about the plan? Watch for an ultra-high first bid $ number on that some day posting . . . And don't forget when bidding, he might just remember how helpful this forum was and you will get that fast discount. The OP should read his own previous posts in the thread before posting again . . . To be trustworthy, consistency in your own posts is a must. All that hope there was a straight up guy who was gonna work out a fair deal with a forum member. Went out the window faster than any Pam a forum member sent. As Barney from Mayberry was know to say in an episode or two: "Move along, nothing to see here." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrfish Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Let's go to Kentucky and 'splain it to him...or perpetually ignore him....the virtual death penalty...I was willing to forgive a little ignorance, but you're right, smells like the bottom of the dumpster behind your neighborhood fish market...

Woofers and Tweeters Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 He called me the other day and said he forgot his password. Heasked me to tell you all that he will be posting them on fleaBay soon, and for everyoneto be watching for them. He hasn’t gotten them yet, but will real soon. – That isall. I don’t think he’s a horrible person, just a bit misguidedin his formative years. As others have stated: He didn’t understand howfriendly and freely informative people are on here. If someone on here ends upwith them and needs help loading, I’m not too far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhetor Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 If he wants forum bidders, you might get him to offer a statistically tangible discount for forum members . . . . The "maybe someday we will work a discount for a forum member after it is all over with" is pretty, well, ridiculous. If he wants forum incentive to buy, I would recommend a percentage discount stated here on the forum. What is forum help been worth to him? $5? $10? A specifics percentage off? Had that experience with some forum members here selling on eBay and it has been great. But never a "I will will figure it out after you pay, I will figure it out then" going to be taken seriously. Too bad he is not going to give forum members, guardians and lovers of special vintage Klipsch products a shot first. Well, at least they are saved from a local unadvertised garage sale and will find their way to someone, hopefully a forum member, to preserve and use the. As it is, I am one less potential buyer. But, thanks, Weber for the update and offer of assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opusk2k9 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Me too, I have a single original 1958 shorthorn with the stevens tru-sonic components, that I might be willing to part with, if the prices are on the rise. The last single with the original components went for $550 on the bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
