where did you buy it off of? have you been in contact with him yet? I hope not although there is these 2 guys and it always the same 2 guys in my town that go around saying that they want to sell you a home theater system or top of the line speakers and they rip you off!!! They just say that they work for a company that got one extra unit sent but was never charged for it and their boss just wants it gone. They've aproched me a total of like 5 times lol

I might be getting laid-off so i wouldnt purchase anything right now. I had to take a picture of this and ask you guys because i dont believe my neighbor. I have never heard of this scam, but if someone approach me in a truck with some merchandise, it better be Onkyo, Yamaha, Kenwood, etc.
He is reading this right now.

My fiances dad bought us a system like that from a guy selling out of a van. Looked nice but it was the biggest pos. Just look at the box what kind of company puts the price like that on the box.

I just pulled up some other ones on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-INNOVATIONS-...QQcmdZViewItem
He just left.
I hated to bust his bubble, but he was talking so much trash.

The same thing has happened to me like 4 times.
I would be at an intersection..and this guy and his friend in some SUV pulls up and says "hey, I have this home theatre system thats worth $2000. And Im selling it for $300 because It was an extra order...do you want it???" And I would say no im all set....
If its to good to be true..then..its not true. Its a scam.

My home stereo is teh winner.
Denon 3805 7.1 surround reciever ($1,199)
Denon DVD-2900 universal player ($1,199)
Denon POA-2800 200w stereo amp, ($800)
Panasonic 100GB DVR/ DVD Burner ($400)
Jm Lab Chorus 707s ($800pr)
Definitive mythos center ($500)
Infinity surrounds ($400pr)
Velodyne subwoofers, ($1,200pr)
Cabling (monster, audioquest, others) (approx $800)
Panasonic Viesta Plasma TV, ($2,500)
Monster stage 2 power conditioned ($300)
Total system price roughly 10k.
I paid somewhere around 6k though. Did a lot of research on this stuff and a lot of digging for good deals. I diddnt pay MSRP on a single piece.
Awesome sounding system. Very clear, can go high volumes without getting harsh and bright, and can give a helluva kidney massage

Yah that girl is crazy.
as for girls having kids, being 29 i have to accept the fact i might end up dating a girl who has a kid. but as long as she is down with having another one eventually, cause my genes are too damn good not to pass on. lol
