Congrats Muddy! You should always use a sniping program. That way you don't have to try to send in a bid at the last second.
I pick a moon dog.
Tot I do when I am not about but if im at home I love to play the game.Someone had bid on the pair I won so I just placed a $2 above the current bid and figured they would go high and never checked back.
Anyways im amped
Also I might be able to get another pair( these all are a matched quad set) for anyone interested![]()

Ahhh, I see:
Lord Mudcat, Big Gear Hunter.
He went out speaker hunting
With his pay pal & his thumb
For fear of sniper shots
He failed to jump the gun.

Sweet Mud! Looks like you got one helluva deal too.

Shiner ive seen about 3 listings in about 6 months ive been looking so the speakers themselves are rare.$200 a pop (for 1) is the going rate so yea $55 a piece is a steal.:

I feel your pain Mud. I honestly don't know how the hell those guys stay in business with all the money they pay out for damaged merchandise.
