Why is it always home theater systems?
    #11957533 - 02/03/10 08:32 PM (14 years, 3 months ago)

Anyone ever get these guys that get you right before you enter a grocery store asking if you want to buy a home theater system? And it's always followed by them saying "yeah my boss messed up the order." My first guess is this is hot stuff, right? And instead of me buying it why don't they pawn it?

I don't know....just pisses me straight the fuck off!

They aren't usually hot, they are real cheap chinese knockoffs.  They get them for about $100, then go around saying they have a $3000 sound system that they will sell for around 600 because their boss over-ordered them and told them to go get rid of it cheap.

My housemate ran into some of these guys once, it was a real hustle.  They pulled up to him at a traffic light in a white van and asked if he wanted any top end audio gear.  He said maybe, they showed him the stuff, and he ended up going home with it.  They forgot to ask for the money because they were too busy looking around and being shady.

He said it sounded fine for the price but wasn't worth more than a couple hundred.

holy shit, the EXACT same thing happened to me about 8 years ago.  A white van pulled up to me at a traffic light and asked me if I wanted some high end audio gear.  I pulled over and talked with them for a bit and talked them down from $1,000 to like $300 and then changed my mind and left.  The guy seemed a bit pissed I wasted his time, but I guess it's good I didn't buy considering the speakers were probably junk.

lol happened to one of my friends, he bought some shitty ass knockoff/replica speakers that were supposedly Polk Audio or some legit brand, but obviously fakes. He refused to admit he got scammed and was happy with the speakers, what a fool.
