Seems like he is putting a system together. My guess is he will run these into absurd prices as well. Perhaps I'll let him have my Belles for $5000.

Piranha Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Maybe he'll bid on the 72 verts in VT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy81 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 LISTEN TO THIS: I have found out that the La Scalas in question have NO tweeters in them!!! Actually, it says so on the auction page, I just didn't read that part since I recognized the cut and paste description from the Klipsch site. In that portion, the seller put in "tweeters are removed". The seller does not have the tweeters at all, he seems like a nice guy, just took the tweeters out after they got blown and sent them to Klipsch, they apparently lost them. Be careful if you bid on this item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synthfreek Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I think there are some Lascalas for sale in the Dallas area for $800. Check out thriftynickel.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Mobley Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 The seller will probably think I'm a jerk, but I emailed both bidders about the missing tweeters. Neither of them had noticed the little blurb in the middle of the text pasted from the Klipsch website. Both thanked me, one mentioned that the seller refused to cancel his bid because he wasn't the high bidder at the time. My offer still stands, if someone from here buys those I will make him a smokin' deal on a pair of EV T-35's I have and am not using.

Piranha Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Tom, No worries. We all know who the real jerk is. And it's certainly not you! I had done the same thing earlier. You must have beat me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny dB Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Looks like the seller added that they are missing the tweets now. Must've had a few complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy81 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 The original three bidders all cancelled their bids. New bidder entered his or her bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
