My stepdad and i got scammed by this exact same thing 30 years ago - it's been going on that long. same kind of deal - forgot where the guy approached us; but offered this story about extra speakers OEM'd for a famous brand etc. i don't remember if they were labeled - they were large, black speakers.

my stepdad was skeptical, and said "we need to try them out first" and the guy followed us back to our house which was only a couple of blocks away (bad idea probably, but whatever). we had a mediocre stereo system in our house with small speakers, and when we hooked up the speakers, they sounded great, so my stepdad gave him something like $80 for two. those things lasted at least 20 years until they moved, and we got a lot of use out of them. not being audiophiles, they sounded great to us, LOL.
