| Speakers rarely bugger up so go for it. For that price, buy 2 sets and you'll have spare parts

| Hey FB, when speakers go bad it's user screw-ups that cause it 95% of the time. i.e overdrive the speakers, playing clipped music, and the worst sin not enough juice. Pssst, do you think he's convinced Count? I tried using your guide to persuasion.

I'm not familiar with eBay (scares the heck outta me, in fact). Maybe they have a system to deal with this? Feedback? But then, what's to stop someone from selling crap, getting bad feedback, then selling under a different name? As I said, eBay scares me.  | |
