The speakers were from a home stereo system and the cone on one was tore, said he doesn't know if the second one works. 2 of the receivers burnt up from overheating, other one doesn't turn on. Might've been able to get that one going but by the sound of it the other 2 are toast so figure $150 for the chance to get one of them to work is pointless.Originally Posted by Sirscrapalot
Were they broken PC speakers? Didn't see that part if so. An if you can work on electronics, depending on the damage those recievers can bring decent money. I don't think so at 150 for broken. LOL. There's a guy near my sandbar who drives down an buys a bunch from a tv hookup I have. He pays anywhere from 20 to 50 bucks for each one depending on damage. Fixes an resells them.
If those we're car speakers an weren't blown or anything one could make a good resale on them. 20 ain't crap for decent speakers. Some people just don't know what they have. I sell used speakers all the time. PC ones to..the seem to be great for surround sound systems for some reason. They sell real good for me locally.
Despite all the above yes, it's amusing what people think their broken electronics are worth. I love getting calls from people who think a broken 15 year old computer is worth 150.00. Makes me laugh..while I'm on the phone. Or other high priced goods. Some dude wanted 20 for a broken tube tv. I had a good laugh. I don't expect much business from him, as he got upset when I laughed, so I told him he was an idiot. Dude..it's a broken tube! What do you think, I'ma refix a 32 inch tube tv an sell it for 150 bucks? I wish.
CL is full of entertainment. Even the trolls. Nothing better then feeding a troll to the point it implodes.
Good luck dealing with all the BS. Just remember to have a good laugh now an then at it all or you'll become one of them.
Sirscrapalot - Finds humor everywhere. EVERYWHERE!
I've had alot of luck reselling car speakers here, was hoping that's what his would've been.
Guess the people that think their junk is worth gold are everywhere. $20 for a broken tv seems worse than the guy I'm dealing with lol. I would've laughed at him too.
Thanks, I'm the same way. If it wasn't for me trying to find humor in everything I would've went crazy a long time ago lol
