LSi-7's on EBAY

[naliwaba]

How would you like to have friends like this guy:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=71572&item=5764885030&rd=1

His ad states that he is selling these because they are a gift from a friend and not needed. Based on his picture, it looks like that friend may have given him about 7 pair's of these...quite a friend.

I'm intereseted in downgrading my back soundstage to LSi-7's from LSi-9's (in an attempt to get rear surrounds off the ground). Does anybody have any experience with this seller? Does this ad look reasonable? I hate it when distributors and/or dealers deal on E-Bay and use this type of excuse for a sale when it's obviously not the case! Just looking for your thoughts.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

anyone charging $70 flat to ship LSi7 wouldn't make it to my good ebayer book.

$70 is definitely too high. $50 is about the most I've ever added for shipping, but that was also a S&H type of thing.

If you look at his feedback you'll notice he has never sold before. All his feedback is from buying.
Also, as already pointed out, he states a friend gave them to him yet he shows a picture that resembles a stock room. Also, his return policy makes it sound like it's a business.
Before I bought I'd be tempted to know why he states they were a gift yet he shows a whole room full. Could be stolen I guess, but he's stupid for showing a room full.

I find it interesting that he doesn't allow local pickup...... That just seems strange to me.

if it`s a gift , and you don`t sell as a business (legaly), you don`t have to have a business liscense, pay taxes and claim income..


Right..?



or his "friend" hijacked a truck somewhere...

Really, who cares what his reason is for having that many? I bought all of mine and I wouldn't have a single person stop by and pick up. The pic that I put on all my auctions was of a single pair so I didn't let people think that I had a ton of. Sense of urgency is what it's all about when selling anything.
