I Will keep the story short but I been looking for some cheap tower speaker and ran across a local guy selling these for $50 for the pair and instantly I jumped on it. Come to find out these things have quite the story behind them. Apparently people have paid high dollar for these from guys selling them out the back of a white van. I find it kind of entertaining. If you want some good reading material search audio file 583lr. Other then the covers missing they are in excellent condition and sound pretty dam good for $50.

I honestly can't say I have ever bought anything out of the back of a vehicle but it's clearly not a good idea with high dollar items.. first thing I think is scam alert

Its actually the companies sales model, they pretend to be selling left over speakers from a project and they are trying to get some beer money, the website for the speakers is even a sham with pumped up prices. here is a good measure if you are buying legit shit.. if the package has the retail price printed on it, its not legit.

Here is another line they like to use, the same company that makes alpine makes these.

I heard state and local govt were looking into the legality of people pretending to be selling stolen items that really are not stolen. Thats one hell of a sales model.... type in white van speaker scam into google... there is a wiki page too

That scam has been around for decades!!! lol

I've heard of people doing this exact same scam with power tools. Folks end up paying almost well made tool prices for stuff that is below even Harbor Freight quality.

Open them up and shows us pics of what's inside them, I've heard stories of them tossing bags of sand or a few bricks inside of them to make them heavy so it feels like quality.

I'd also like to see the backs of the speakers.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
