Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea?

I agree with Jallen. I have an employee who purchased a new M5. Don't ask me how, because I can't afford one...

She was driving the car with less than 30k miles, when suddenly the transmission slammed into reverse. The indicator lights lit up like a Christmas tree, and BMW keeps giving the run around on an issue that seems to be rather common according to forums.

Sometimes you just get a lemon. It's always a risk. At least Audiogon gives you a chance to get to know the reputations of sellers. It is a smaller community than eBay or Craigslist, etc.

You run less risk, but there is never a guarantee in life.

Ask me how I feel about buying speakers sight unseen in a few weeks. I just mailed my cashier's check today...

LOL

Who NEEDS and M5? It is about what you WANT! No one wants the car that they NEED.

By the way, the deal for the B&W CDM CNT went flawlessly. Sometimes it is just worth a bit of risk. How else will you ever get the reward?
