Many people are looking for a great deal these days. And, they don't mind cheating someone to get it! This fraud gives them the chance to do just that! The victim here is so busy thinking how he's gonna cheat the speaker sellers that he never bothers to see that the speakers aren't worth buying in the first place. Give the public the chance to cheat you, and they'll gladly empty their wallet to do so!

It is more like these weasels do prey on human greed and dishonesty. When someone comes up to sell you some 'extra' speakers you can bet they are stolen or not what they appear. The person buying them is told they 'fell off the back of the truck' or some other euphemistic phrase but the customer thinks they are stolen and thinks this must be a great deal because the seller could not possible ask what you could buy them for new. But, you are right too, some people are too gullible. (Unfortunately me sometimes.)

Sorry You Were Taken, John, and Thanks for Updating.. As someone who grew up on the mean streets of New York City, I am very cynical and distrust any offers from strangers. Apparently, you grew up in a moral environment and trusted these jerks. My son almost got taken too in a parking lot. Luckily, he didn't fall for the trick. He grew up in New Orleans so was more open to offers than I. I played a game on them and told them the deal was great but I lived in an apt and couldn't use the speakers w/o being evicted. This relaxed them and they stayed around looking for prey while I called in a felony in progress report to the P.D.. In my state, any theft from your employer is a felony. Ha ha, they got proned out in front of the ATM to get their van searched for hot merchandise. Hopefully, they had warrants or some other issue to get them a trip to Sheriff Baker's jailhouse. All you out there, please benefit from John's loss and call the local cops if you are offered supposedly stolen speakers at a discount. Happy holidays to all.

I filed a report on Theater Research speakers. I did not "plant" info as suggested in a rebuttal. My comments were one which believed the best in people and the acts, which sell these speakers in odd situations on the street. My first report suggested that these sales methods may be a method to gain market recognition, and the speakers worked fine. After some time the speakers in question have failed. They are worthless junk. After everything is said and done....this is a ripoff. No doubt! Avoid street sales of electronics. On another website...there were outrageous comments by sales people glorying in their ability to make money thru fraudulent sales. I would certainly like to take these sales people out to the rear of my Texas ranch and have a vigorous "sales seminar".

With no facts to the contrary, all I can suggest is that this report be taken with a strong pinch of salt by all who read it. It's possible, but I cannot suggest it, that this report is being placed here to make people trust these type of offers should they be approached with a similar pitch. If you read about Dogg Digital or Audiophile, you'll see a pattern of fraud across the country using this type of sales method to sell worthless junk speakers packaged to look expensive. I had this occur to me several years ago, and experienced the pleasure of seeing the two jackasses involved being taken down in a full felony stop when I told the local P.D. they offered to sell me stolen goods. This post may be a "plant" to fool you into buying these speakers but, as I said, I have no facts so cannot tell you to avoid this offer if you get it. Remember, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is".
