It is unfortunate that I found the site after the fact, but please be aware if you have an encounter with a bogus scheme of one to two individuals (it seems like men from what I've read and experienced) driving around in a green caravan claiming to have excess or cancelled orders of home theater systems they have left over from a cancelled order the company received. At first, it seems unbelievable because you want to know why they are able to get rid of merchandise without the company tracking cancelled and excess inventory not returned to the warehouse... Then they continue on with their approach to scam you out of your money by telling you how many they sold, pulling out a wad of money, showing you an electronics catalog with the system in it and the MSRP price of $2800.00... The one guy told me he sold one for $800 which I found ridiculous. I told him forget it no way. He asked what can I afford and I told him nothing more than $200. He went to walk away and tell me have a nice day and got back in his vehicle and I in my own car. His partner then comes out and pulls one of the boxes out of the trunk to tell me his partner is greedy and that he could give it to me for that amount because the guys at the warehouse would take it and sell it for themselves.
Thirsty for a sale and a home theater system, I submitted to being their victim for the day. I eagerly was willing to pay $200. Ironically, the first guy kept asking me if I was sure I wouldn't go and sell it on ebay for my money. My thoughts after my money was already handed over was, like what would he care he has made his money already. Low and behold that was him being a wise ass as he knew what he was up to. THe packaging is remarkable!!! It includes everything in the box to wires, adapters and the pieces itself.
I immediately came home to google the brand name and see what it is I had on my hands and how much of a bargain I got from the scheming scoundrels. To my surprise, I found out through ebay and this site I have trash...
Moral of my story... Never talk to strangers who approach you in the parking lot with selling or begging stories, pay for a warranty which can only be purchased in a store, immediately take their license plates and vehicle descripition (mentally in your head or via your camera phone), pay attention as I was on my phone talking and laughing which made them realize I wasn't focused and tell them to eff off as you are on to them!!!
Unfortunately, I am out of $200 and an expensive lesson learned. It could've turned out worse
