Ebay Subwoofers

[deevergote]

There are hundreds of thousands of people active on ebay every day. To "trust ebay" is to trust just one of those many many sellers. You're taking your chances, and nobody can say otherwise. Check their seller rating. If they have a large number of sales, and a decent rating (99% or higher, I say...) then you SHOULD be safe. Of course, YOU should know what it is that you're buying before you even try. So many complaints that I've read on ebay feedback seem to involve the BUYER being uneducated about the item they purchased. READ EVERYTHING.


As for kicker not making subs... riiiiiggghhht.
What's this?

Subs are their primary product... the first thing listed on their website.

Apparently, our site is populated by a combination of literalists and people who don't get sarcasm.

Not that the attempts at literal sarcasm were really very good. A minor chuckle, or possibly a hearty groan were my only replies.

And people that live in areas where such sandwiches are called Hoagies or Heroes (Hoagie all the way!)

I got the joke... but knowing the source, it was very possible that it wasn't 100% joke anyway.

I live in New England, so sub is definitely the word of choice!

(Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is right down the road...go figure...)

about 2 years ago i bought a jl audio 12w7 off of ebay, i was kinda worried about buying a sub for 500 that retails for 7-8, found out that they scratch off the serial number so that you cant get it warrantied, i never had a problem but make sure you ask about it. i ended up selling mine to buy my h22 and its been the worst mistake in my live, shoulda stuck with the 95 lesabre with the loud stereo.

i do my homework on the sub that they are selling, usually sticking with name brands like kicker and mtx as well as others.

i also read through their ad carefully cause if some dont say "guaranteed not DOA" id always ask. at least say it works. then i look at the cost, usually one product, some geek is going to jack up the price, so i find the cheapest "buy it now" and then judge them on their ratings and how many negitives and positives they have. sometimes i even read through it.

also check on the side to see if you have "buyers protection". that helps incase you do get screwed.

i really really really love the ads that say "product is the picture"

how about no, that's besides the point, it sounds more like trying to confuse newbs on here. This is a beginner forum we shouldn't be screwing new members around guys... they'll find out soon enough heh..

as far as ebay vs internet someone said they got their sub of the net, there are tons of small stores online that sell electronics, but I feel safer with ebay + paypal b/c I get to see their feedback. There are a lot of small stores that aren't rated so well and if you aren't sure what to look for then you can get screwed worse than ebay.

Feedback is absolutly key, but with car stuff it goes two ways. You should have 99+ preferably, but there are almost never say car part accessory stores on there with feedback above 98% because there are a lot of kids ricing their cars out who break the product from lack of knowledge, so you have to actually spend the time reading through the feedback to see why they have negatives b/c sometimes it's legit broken sometimes ppl really don't know what they are doing. If your gut really questions it then don't do it. But I've got lots of audio and other stuff on ebay and even with a couple small bad deals I'm still all for ebay. Plus selling stuff on there is good, you get more for some small stuff nobody around you wants b/c the most ppl will be looking for it.
