Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea?

Who NEEDS and M5? It is about what you WANT! No one wants the car that they NEED.

By the way, the deal for the B&W CDM CNT went flawlessly. Sometimes it is just worth a bit of risk. How else will you ever get the reward?

I agree with Jallen. I have an employee who purchased a new M5. Don't ask me how, because I can't afford one...

She was driving the car with less than 30k miles, when suddenly the transmission slammed into reverse. The indicator lights lit up like a Christmas tree, and BMW keeps giving the run around on an issue that seems to be rather common according to forums.

Sometimes you just get a lemon. It's always a risk. At least Audiogon gives you a chance to get to know the reputations of sellers. It is a smaller community than eBay or Craigslist, etc.

You run less risk, but there is never a guarantee in life.

Ask me how I feel about buying speakers sight unseen in a few weeks. I just mailed my cashier's check today...
