um ya i did not say i was going to buy from ebay. i said i was not all up to shopping across the internet. mr2nr can you just drop it already i have sent you a pm

 

Why not just get a set of used ones off of someone on this board. I'm sure someone has a pair of co-ax speakers for sale at a reasonable price.

 

Sorry dude, but if you want to waste peoples time, then so be it. Maybe I just don't know how to read but for most of us these quotes say it all.

"im not all to sure if i want to go shopping on ebay quite yet."

Followed up with

"um ya i did not say i was going to buy from ebay."

Tyler I'm not trying to pick on you at all, but damn dude, you just set yourself up for failure and abuse. I have had some customers just like you that have developed into good friends over the years. Remember, I am not the one who says one thing and then says another, I am only commenting on the things that you said. Get your story straight puhleez. We all can help you in many different ways. Advice is free, knowledge from people on this site is plentiful.

Tyler, the best thing you can do is to keep asking questions no matter how "stupid" they may sound. I have had all sorts of questions asked over and over and over agian in the last 18 years. They are never stupid and they always need to be asked an answered. EBAY is a dumping ground for electronics, personally I would stay right the hell away from there. At least from a store you have recourse much easier should there be a problem. Sometimes the best price is the wrong choice and will cost you far more in the long run.

 

but, ebay is good for other things right? like hard to find items and what not.

 

Try to support your local dealers.....they are the ones with all the free advice and knowledge.

There is deals on e-bay and other on-line retailers that seem too good to be true....when considering purchasing in this method you must consider the exchange rate, shipping, brokerage etc.

Most likely any purchases from south of the border will not offer any type of Canadian warranty either.

When you factor in all of the above points, you can more accurately compare prices with what you can get in your own town.

I like anyone like to save money and get a good deal. I personally will pay a bit more to support my local dealers, especially independants & Canadian owned. This goes for what ever I am buying. I bought my last Tissot south of the border because I saved $400.00, If it was going to only be $100.00 I would have bought domestically.

Buying in Canada helps the Canadian economy.....buying in the US does not.

Hey big guy,

Go and BUY these from Fat Whacker.

They are decent quality, CHEAP, and are the same size as the RF's you blew.

He is a good guy to deal with and they are brand new in the box.

I try to buy stuff of the for sale section here mostly myself.
I dont like to pay a lot, obviously, like everyone, and I find that I can get great gear for cheap from reputable human beings, which is unfortunately not always who you end up dealing with at shops.

I would highly recommend you simply find some stuff on there you like, then discuss with the sellers for references, safeguards like COD payments, and stuff like that.

I have dealt with both 'old' members and new, and as long as you are pleasant and make sure of all the details (there arent THAT many dont worry) everything should go as expected.

You may even meet some local guys to help you out with setups and stuff, or that may think back to when they were in their 'teens, and hook you up.

Good Luck

 

You can definatly get parts for smaller speakers... but Iam not sure you will find many reconners that would bother or would be able to make it cost effective over buying a new set....
