great speaker buys on Craigslist

12-18-12: B_limo
No joke, I'm scanning craigs L tonight, listing says: "2 speakers, 4 foot tall, make offer". Question is, do you all think these would be a big improvement over my 24" tall speakers and if so, how much should I offer him? Thanks!

B, at 48" tall they will be twice as good as your 24"ers !!!!

Ok, I was thinking. I don't do that very much because I am a music lover and I listen to music 23.5 hours a day. Any I will hurry because I got to get back to listening. Sorry to hijack such and important thread as this but I think I have come up with the best topic to chime in on. This- 'I need some help!!. I am not sure how my system sounds. Can you help me? Please!! Please!! Please!!.' I haven't seen a thread like this unless I have missed something. Anyway I am checking with everyone here before I post it, because almost everyone seems so smart. Will it get a lot and I mean a lot of replys? Now go ahead and tell me. Don't worry I can take it, I'm not a fresh cupcake.

CL is a hoot. It can be very entertaining taking a look now and then as the above examples show.

Here are just two of my favorites:
(insert well known brand name here) RPTV for sale - $400. Paid over $3000 when new. Works great!
I wish I could reply to this type of ad - "I would be happy remove the 300 lb beast from your premises for only $40.

But my absolute favorite was someone looking to sell his $500 Best Buy gift card for....you guessed it, $500! At least it also said, "can meet you at store to verify amount".

And they're serious.

Marq, no brown, no dice. ;)

I suppose if Apple were marketing this stuff the tagline would be: "And now...even bigger!"

Seriously, when are we gonna start seeing speakers sold by the pound? I think these guys are on to something.

Two more I saw this morning:
"speakers so awesome, come on by!
I've got a set of sharp, three way speakers, 300 watts, bookshelf size, $70. I've also got a pair of tower speakers. They are generic, but look nice. $20. I'm moving in a month, better hurry I'm in a wheelchair now!"

And then there is "A pair of floorstanding speakers with a subwolfer". I bet those really howl! Funny too, I've never seen that pair of bose floorstanding speakers. They are pretty tall and boxey for only having what looks like one 2.5 inch driver.
