There are so many idiot selling their systems for WAY too much, and they don't even know what they had. Some dude had "Blu-ray upconversion" I feel bad for the idiot who buy this crap.

WANTED: Powered home theater sub-woofer 8" or larger

I need a powered sub for m home theater. It must work and contain a driver of at least 8" or greater. I might consider one with a smaller woofer - depending on what you have. Looks are not the most important as it will be hidden away from view. Let me know what you have along with your asking price in the first e-mail. I can pick-up and I have cash - or third-party Nigerian checks from a rich recently deposed military leader :).

HAH, took me approximately 7 seconds to get the joke.
Methinks those first ones were a joke, 1000 dollars for those copyesque speakers?

That is an actual Craigslist listing, but how is he going to pick them up? Should I troll him?

Craiglist is for finding good deals on lower end items, not on high-end. It has a decided advantage over EBay, IMHO, in that you know where the guy who sold it to you lives. I helped a friend buy a really cheap but decent PC, for example.

Not that I think they were high-end, but I just sold a pair of Onix Rocket RS550 MKIIs on craigslist this weekend :D

There are bad sellers no matter what the venue, but I do like the face-to-face of Craiglist. Not that I've done much with it, but my experience has been positive (unlike EBay, where I've had problems). I've seen those horrible deals on Craiglist that make you cringe at the thought some sucker probably didn't know the value of what they were buying, caveat emptor.

Craigslist has it's merits...I'm currently in the hunt for a cheap vintage turntable, like a Dual, Empire, Thorens, etc...

Someone in Chicago is selling a pair of Linn Index speakers for $50...not GREAT speakers, but for $50, they'll be a good 2nd or 3rd system...and they come with the stands, which is really what I'm buying them for. They'll go great with my Dyn's :D

Craigslsit is a godsend for me. No selling fees, no shipping fees, all cash transactions. Plus I've gotten SOME great deals on CL, some of which i've turned for profit on ebay. ;)
