It sounds more like she's the one that got scammed but has no idea. She probably paid a few grand for those and thought it was the best speakers ever, but now she wanted to sell them.

You don't understand this at all.
NOBODY pays a few grand for them.

Ok, I realize you posted your thread yrs. ago but I just had to add to it anyways. About 2 mnths. ago I found the exact same system on the curb outside a nieghbour's house. I call these finds "Curbside Specials" I take things home all the time. I have hooked up the system to my "New Media Center" PC w/ Dolby 5.1 LIVE SoundBlaster card installed hooked up to my 42" Sony LCD TV & I thought I got a great deal. Thought it was even better when I just caught your thread topic Quoting a price over $3000. I'm sorry you paid $80 for it,, just wondered if you ever returned it & got your refund? I'm curious too if you didn't return it, if you ever got it working correctly? I'm having a minor problem with my ST-50, I can't seem to be able to use the AM/FM radio feature & wondered if it perhaps needs a REMOTE for this feature. That is how I found your Thread about the System, I was Googling the system to get the specs to see if a Remote was supposed to be part of my Curbside Special & just wasn't included in the deal & if there was a remote & you may happen to have it still and not using it anymore maybe, just maybe, you may want to part with it. My New Media System works great otherwise. Just would be nice to be able to use the radio once in awhile.

This stuff is so badly built that is most likely is a very real fire hazard. If you don't believe me, take it apart and have a look.

Get rid of it. There is a reason people were throwing it away.

Ok apparently nobody understood what I tried to say.

This is just a theory, but what probably happened is a long time ago, The current person that is selling them, actually bought them. And she probably bought them from one of those scammers that was selling them for really expensive as good speakers. She had no idea it was a scam and paid for it thinking she was getting such a good deal given they were (supposedly) worth more and used them for all that time. Probably did not even notice the difference between those, and whatever speaker they are trying to impersonate. Now, she no longer wants them, and trying to sell them. She probably does not know that these speakers are "scammy". Long story short, she's not the one scamming him, she's the one that got scammed originally when she bought them.

I'll say it again.
Nobody pays a lot for the speakers.
The insanely high price is there to raise the buyers interest in getting a good deal, and without fail and against better judgment they bite when they are told they can buy them for 10-15% of the "MSRP" printed on the box.
They are never sold for anywhere near that price as nobody would buy them. For that price they would want to pause, do some research, and would ultimately find out they are essentially worthless. Selling them for anywhere near the price printed on the box (which should be a dead giveaway) simply isn't the scammers M.O.
They are sold using manipulation tactics of human weakness, opportunity and greed.
