People who have never been exposed to great sound are happy with what they have because they don't know any better. Once they hear music they like in a well designed room with quality speakers, a whole new world opens up for them to spend money on. |

I'm on and off with AVS. There's a lot of good information there, but you have to dig through people asking the same questions every day and others insisting their cables are better. I don't have the tools, room, or knowledge to design my own speakers, so I'm happy to use others' proven designs.

The white van speaker is one end of the spectrum, while on the other end of the spectrum I think there is also too much snake oil being sold to the wealthy folks these days. BTW the same white van speaker scam exists but in the form of an SUV with an Italian dude claiming he needs to sell off some Armani sample products as he is going to miss his flight and wants to avoid paying taxes. It's really hilarious. Last edited by krayzie; 06-07-2016 at 11:22 PM. |

OK so they are doing a sales pitch, but that doesn't make it a scam.
People sell fairly large size home build type speakers out of a van. They embellish the sale with a story. The product is right there for you so touch, feel, etc. A scam is when the no product is received or you receive one not as originally shown. When it's in front of your face you can examine the product, maybe even test it. If the buyer takes the guys word for it regarding the quality etc that's their choice.

Woa this still happens?! And it happened in the 80's?! amazing. @OP I was approached in a parking same area near Heartland by two guys in a white van about 15 years ago in my 98 civic si. When I asked to prove they weren't a scam he showed me a large Ziploc full of weed lol and said he had nothing to lie about.

A scam would be; "hey come over here I have this ________ for cheap" and when your close they phone check you and take everything in your pockets.
These on the other hand are just stories of mobile entrepreneurs trying to make a living. |

Hopefully you guys arent also the type to buy 'meat' products from the door to door guys.
LOL Halloween decorations. $200/$300 w/o insurance? I wouldn't go for it unless we did it through paypal lol This is one reason why I love the US. 1yr manufacturer guarantee and in other cases 30 day money back.
