They'll tell you the speakers are real nice and offer a great price, but they're real pieces of shit, the kinda stuff you can pick up at a flea market. Big cabinets and shit with terrible electronics.
Yeah thats what I was assuming.

The first time I saw the guy you get the impression that they may be stolen speakers and you could probably get a good deal since they are quality stolen speakers.

But the second time around months later him selling the EXACT same shit out of his van you start to think it must be a biz or a scam of sorts selling shitty stuff like you said.

HE talks to you real quiet like lookin around nervous to make ya think they are stolen and he can cut ya a deal on this quality shit he stole, when in fact he probably orders this shit for dirt cheap from some shitty supplier, and sells them like brand name shit.

According to my friends they ran into this guy also during the summer! same thing, speakers for the house.
