I actually gave my friend cash to buy speakers out of a van for me sight unseen. I had to re-solder all the connections but I beat the crap outa them for years.

they actually were decent speakers. the cases were nice looking, and they sounded nice....they were something like $150 a set to us...probably would have sold for $400 in a store.....it was all a big come on...a dog and pony show. If you didnt pay too too much for them, they were fine. but we would tell them that they usually sold for $1200 a pop....making people think they were some super high end stuff....and this was an opportunity to get a steal of a deal. We also sold the odd cd player or reciever from time to time....so much effort.

The Betting Tips thread has gotten some interesting new arrivals.

It is pretty funny how over-the-top rude and annoying they are, yet beg UT not to ban them.
