Klipsch and some other electronics companys say they sell through authorized dealers only, well how do these ebay wholesalers get their hands on this stuff. Im guessing they have to get it cheap enough to make a decent profit on it, so wholesale prices, but how i know their not authorized.??

I think it's unlikely that any eBay seller will be an authorized Klipsch dealer. Check out their current auctions and see if they sell a ton of Klipsch brand stuff. You could try asking him, too :)

I believe Klipsch's stance is that they have NO authorized onkine vendors. Ubid is the only place where Klipsch will honor the warranty if bought online.

Also, if a seller was in fact an authorized dealer, I'm sure they would advertise themselves as that. I mean, it would be a great way to win customer trust.

If an authorized dealer was selling them on eBay I'm sure Klipsch would soon see to it that they no longer were authorized.
