Did anyone here bid on this?

[okiepolkie]

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I put it here.

I've heard it called the "Holy Grail" of centers, but someone must have really wanted this one.

That's the same crook who sold these speakers as a matching pair! :rolleyes:

LOL... I wonder how many of the seler's 1800+ ebay transactions have been for a pair of "his babies"?

op,
Damn, new record for a 1000p there. Previous one was a $700 BIN. Most go in the $500's...

I was hot after one in my early days here until Dr. Spec and a couple others brought me to my senses....

Bidding smacks of shilling to my eye... at least 2005gregb's bidding pattern strongly suggests shilling.

That's insane for that speaker. It may be good but not that good IMHO. I can think of a better way to spend 1200 for a center channel. The bidding looks shady as well. I hope the speaker works out well for the guy.

As much as shilling probably had a part to play in that one, m1cr0221 is an idiot for bidding up to that level.....serves him right as far as I'm concerned.
