That better come with a 36 inch flat panel tv for that price!

[scottydoes]

you should do a google search on that surround sound, it's cheap chinese junk, and they are a craiglist scam.

[YELLAHEEP]

Yeah, "suggested retail" on the product box is never realistic. It gives all vendors the ability to price it below "suggested retail" and sway customers their way.

Got it from a "friend" huh? Maybe Rocco? Was he driving a rental van, parked behind a liquor store? Let you in on the deal of the century? :D

Where do they sell that system in the retail market anyway - couldn't find it being offered anywhere - not even one on E-bay..... :dunno:

Good luck with that. :thumbup:

[jwtrapper]

Thats so 1990's who wants 5.1 when you can get 7.1 now. Some bluerays wont play digital sound without 7.1.

[xjrbw]

haha yeah, google tells me those are going for 200-300 out of the back of white vans.

[YELLAHEEP]

Oh dayum..... Poor Mason is getting schooled over on COJeeps..... :shhh:

I hope you didn't get suckered outta yer hard earned money brutha.

[scottydoes]

sorry if i XXXX blocked. just don't wanna see anyone get taken on here. hope you didn't pay much/anything for that system.

[jdogg4]

A guy at our shop went to lunch at the subway in the gas station came out and two in a white rental van pulled that with him and he fell for it. HE said they sounded really good for the first few weeks then snap crackle pop all fuzzy sounding and yes it's junk.

[Frank Z]

WhiteVan Sheisters took some poor sap to the cleaners.
BWAHAHAHAHA!


Caveat emptor

:roflmao:Some guys tried the same thing on me and my father at BestyBuy right after Christmas. They left us in a hurry when my dad, so no thanks, but asked for some cocaine.

[Frank Z]

So how much did "your friend" pay for this stuff?

[Kiefer316]

My brother fell for the same thing! But the system has been working good for about a year now!

[kujito]

"Impedance All Speakers 6 OHM"

Unless you've got a home-theater-in-a-box system already, those won't work well. Many/most (Onkyo is an exception) of the packaged systems use 6 ohm speakers, but most home receivers/amps want 8 ohms.

[collkid]

This is kind of funny. I wonder what you paid for it... Really might have been worth it?

[Stang5lgt]

I had them same thing happen to me they pulled up after they followed me down 225 for about 5 miles. Saw me walking into Target and said you wanna buy a Home Theater for cheap. I was like what?.... and said no, guy was like real cheap... and I said I don't have any money. And he quickly drove away. He was driving a Black Expedition with Freeway Ford tags where the plates go. Guessing he was test driving. So no one could track him down.

Just a warning don't get suckered into a deal. If it sounds too good to be true then it is. Dad taught me that one a long time ago.

Sorry for you luck Mason. If you see those clowns again call the cops.

[YELLAHEEP]

Sorry for you luck Mason. If you see those clowns again call the cops.

And charge 'em with what?

[Frank Z]

Too easy Troy.

Since most of these guys tell you some B.S about having an extra set that their boss gave them by mistake and they just want to get rid of them for some extra cash without the boss knowing about it....

Grand Theft Junk

Better have another look. Seems that the OP is the one running the scam.

[.40CalPatriot]

Better have another look. Seems that the OP is the one running the scam.

I have been thinking the same. He said he wasn't out too much on it. 1700 is a lot too me. I think he got it for 100 and is trying to pull one over on someone. Maybe he is the one behined all the white vans?

[89jeepxjw]

Ok maybe its because I havent had my coffee yet or because I got 2 hours of sleep BUT this actually kind of pisses me off......

Mctard,you bought this junk for an ipod cable,a little cash and some pocket lint. Now your trying to take someone on the forum for a pretty decent amount of money,sounds shady,especially when you throw in the fact that there were tons of members on here that either hooked you up with parts for cheap/free or wrenched on that red junker of yours what seemed like everyday....they did it for free or very very little cash. Way to return a favor Mc-Retard,your a real stand up guy. (not really though, that was my sarcasm button turned to the on position,get it)

Rant off. Im going to get some coffee.

[Glacialbass]

Seriously man? $40 and an iPod cable, but a "friend gave it to you".... and now you come on here and ask for $1700?

You had better have a damn good explanation before the lynch mob shows up.

This ^^^^^

I'm not a very vocal person on the boards, but this takes the cake. Mcantar, I don't know you from Adam, but I've yet to see you post about anything where you have made a good decision and/or whatever you purchased was/ended up being a big pile of caca. Then, you try to hornswagle the same people the you want to make friends with, expect to get good advice from, and help turning a wrench on your junk? :flamemad:Not wise (again). You sure do know how to exploit your ignorance, naivety, and inmaturity every time you post up on the forums.

[XJNOOB93]

Pretty sure Mason ditched this thread... I could care less what he did... he's a kid. He made a mistake. Let it go. You didn't buy it.

[JJacobs]

Whoops!!

[collkid]

AAhh Interesting.

[Frank Z]

Huh?

[XJNOOB93]

Ban him....


For what?

[89jeepxjw]

Pretty sure Mason ditched this thread... I could care less what he did... he's a kid. He made a mistake. Let it go. You didn't buy it.

So I finally got my coffee and im feeling in a much better mood,so I decided to come back to this thread and re-evaluate my previous comments and...........(drum roll please)................Yea, still think hes a retard. Kid? im pretty sure hes older than you. Just glad no one actually bought this junk from him, or we would of had a new thread titled "look at my sweet new toy I just bought off craigslist" by Mctarded. Im ditching this thread like Kristy Alley ditched her diet and heading to best buy to look at some home theater systems,anyone know someone selling one for way below The MSRP?????? (sarcasm button switched to the on position again,get it)

[XJNOOB93]

WTF?! Screw you buddy. You don't know me nor do you know how old I am. I'm pretty sure Mason graduated highschool this last year.

[METAL MONKEY]

my last $.02. Everyone makes mistakes, but it only takes a 7 year old to know better to not to steal from other people.

Hmmmm so many possibilities,but ill keep this,my final post on the subject short and sweet. This thread has nothing to do with you...nothing. My comments were directed towards mason and not you,so loosen that g-string monica, its making you a little grouchy. I simply typed what I thought about the situation and stated that I thought mason was a little older than you, so no need to add wine with this cheese mmmkay? O and just for the heck of it....Im gonnna guess your between 18-20 with 19 being my favorite number. Im scary close right?? What do I win...got any big blue stuffed pigs,maybe a home entertainment system??? Lighten up,there will be plenty of time for WTF's and screw you buddies once your old enough to hit the bars.

[JJacobs]

I'm bored.

[Stang5lgt]

This is almost as good as the thread about the Mc mallcrawler. LOL I was joking about the ban.

[ausi02]

Whats amazing is the market of brands that are phonetically similar to good brands. Ie Affinity is meant to sound like Infinity, the ignorant person would think of quality when propositioned with this system when really its some cheap Chinese stuff. Another example is a studio that makes movies strikingly similar to others in hopes of selling to people who are no knowledgeable enough to know the difference. Paranormal Activity was the original and their copy was Paranormal Entity. Its kinda sad what people will do for money.

[xj-grin]

Think about the rockin tunes the super-entertainment-center could kick out of the competition-rock-crawler... man, the freaking possibilities!!!:guitar::greensmok

[YELLAHEEP]

Some of you goobers need to chill out on accusing Mason of trying to cheat folks here.

Seems perfectly clear to me that he musta thought he got in on a ground-level sweet deal and hoped to flip that sound system for some good cash. Clearly he didn't do any research on the system, never even opened the box. Went with what the suggested retail was, knocked the price down and tossed it out there. He got excited. Ya can't blame the guy for trying. But I don't think he was being intentionally deceptive.

He got schooled and like lots of things Mason has done in the time we've all gotten to know him...... he just seems to take his lumps learning the hard way..... I can only imagine how many times he's heard his mother say "What the hell are you driving NOW? :laugh3:

You guys jabbing him for the error of his ways...... Never made a bad decision before in your lives? Glass houses...... rocks...... :rolleyes:

Shaddup and let this thread be just another chapter in the book of Mason..... :D

[scottydoes]

Ban him....
+1

For what?
for trying to take another member for 1660 doll hairs!

he said he paid 40+ an ipod cable for the home theatre, then tries charging 1700????!!!:bs:

[Led]

Book of Mason????? that like the book of Mormons??? Ya know I hate organized religion:D

[YELLAHEEP]

Jealous much?

Profit should be limited? What are ya? A fawkin' socialist Democrat? NO ONE should make that kind of profit? If he did, should he then share his profit with the masses? :rolleyes:

I honestly believe Mason thought he'd snagged "the deal of the century" and hoped to put some good cash in his pocket. I don't see any deception going on here.

If you think what he's selling is overpriced...... don't give it the time of day.

Drama queens...... :moon:

[xj-grin]

Yeah, but this book ROCKS!!!!:cheers:

[scottydoes]

not jealous, but i get what you are saying. i myself however, could never do that to people on an enthusiast forum where i am likely to need help/make new friends. i think his profiteering is better suited to CL. maybe that is just me though.

btw, nice ass!

[Apostle]

Picked up a rig here, cleaned it up a bit and could easily resell for a grand more. would i post here? you bet. profit and flipping is a daily thing, called the stock market.

agree with Troy, think Mac thought he had a killer deal and tried to flip it

[Kiefer316]

agree with Troy, think Mac thought he had a killer deal and tried to flip it
Also agree with this... I have made 2 bad decisions so far and about to be on my first best decision of my life :D. and im making money out of it.

[XJNOOB93]

X3 on Troy's logic. Give him a break... I know I would try the same thing If I could make an extra buck... and thats not just because Im a jew! http://www.chatbear.com/images/emoticons/users/233.gif

[Frank Z]

Jew-ish!!!!

[kujito]

Whats amazing is the market of brands that are phonetically similar to good brands.

I think my all time faves are 'Rockwood' and 'Kenford' car audio.
