Same as everybody else. 2 guys in a van try to sell me speakers. They started at $600 for each speaker but I talked them down to $75 each and wound up buying 2 pairs.
The "white van speaker scam" got me. These speakers are worthless and have absolutely NO resale value. Pawn shops won't touch them. I would give them up for $20 each just to get rid of them but there is no market for them at all.
These speakers are built foreign from what I can tell and then distributed out of California and Florida. The distributors are part of the scheme as well, giving out magazines and deceptive information to their "speaker guys" so they can con gullable people in parking lots.
I tried calling the distributors. I was upset and wanted a refund but got a "We cannot offer you a refund because we did not sell you the speakers." The lady continued on to say that she would "have one of the 'speaker guys' call me back." But nobody ever called me back. The distributors are in this scam as much as the 'speaker guys'.
What these people are doing IS illegal. The distributors have put employment ads in papers about making thousands of dollars per week selling home theater products.
