A few items whilst poking about:

1) a nice deal (if shape is as described) in "the Valley":

2) a not as nice deal in Denver:
http://denver.craigslist.org/ele/634887490.html

(and sidebar- I love it when sellers act like you, the imagninary buyer, are pushing them to do something wrong... "gosh... I don't even know WHY I'm selling them... I'm so STUPID.. I'm having second thoughts even as I write this... I'm a bad boy..." :bs:)


And something fishy in Maryland on ebay:

1) There's this active auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-JBL-Model-L56-Home-Speakers_W0QQitemZ140222469625QQihZ004QQcategoryZ5 2473QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

And then there's an auction (different seller apparently) that was yanked... note the pictures where the binding posts were removed and hardwired...

Same speakers.. and perhaps an off-ebay sale occured or maybe it's the same seller with a different identity being schneeky. Both auctions stated no pay pal. Caveat Mucho Emptorio!

The photos of the banana plugs are of the exact same speaker. The hot glue, the scratches, that one li'l hair hanging-- all the same.

Sneaky sneaky.

That's the second time I laughed at that CL JBL post today.

I get e-mailed whenever something I'm into pops up on CL. :naughty:
