Run and get them now!!!! No sh!t, this is a ridiculously good deal for $300. A good deal at even 2-3 times that much if all the drivers are working. Don't type, just call and make arrangements to go and get them tonight. Just do it and ask questions once they are in your garage.

he's had 5 calls in the 30 minutes they've been up.

No doubt. I would be willing to bet that his first phone call was an offer of $1k to hold them until tomorrow. Let the bidding war begin!

I wouldn't dare come home with these as I'm trying not to get divorced at the moment. I might be first in line though if anybody local wants to become me.
Wow, bowtie, you nailed that one! I'm guessing that even though there are 6 more days in the bidding process not a single bid has been made ("yet"...of course) and he freaked. Then he posted on Craigslist to see what the response might be. A pretty hefty response, I'm guessing. Anyway, something tells me that they will stay on the auction site. Man, this hobby attracts some jerks...

I don't think they're jerks. They have perfect feedback and are nice guys. The father was surprised at the number of calls. If he raises the price, it wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit. I think they should have done their homework a little better though.
Yeah..."jerks" isn't the nicest thing to say and I recant my stupid comment/critique. Still, the dealers name is necustomdrums...and that sounds like somebody who knows what these speakers relative worth might be. Still, they have a 100% positive rating. Okay, not jerks...just casting around in a manner that might injure the AK'er sensibilities and code of ethical bargain hunting!

LOL.....I hear you....there have been numerous threads on here about the "moral" aspect of whether it's your duty to inform the seller of what they have. I'm not sure if I'm a white knight or a dark knight in this regard. I do know that had the guy been able to see me tonight, I would have come home with these things, and then probably ended up divorced (no joke), so sometimes fate is good to me.
I must have called while you were still talking to him. He did sound like a nice guy come to think of it! Your divorce comment is pretty much where I stand...my wife throws a fit when I come home with a bunch of records. Imagine if she saw those Altecs sitting in the garage! Still, after having heard a pair at the AK meet a few months ago, all I can say is "I WANT THEM."

I would wager he would be glad to sell them for a certain price thru the CL listing, and avoid the EBay hassles and fees. Sometimes it is worth listening to, and then paying market for a valuable set of creampuff speaks.
I just bid on them. I tried to call him earlier, but no answer. It will be fun to see what happens next. They will look good in dining room in place of the old Cornwalls I got rid of. But I am not holding my breath on this one.

certainly had I gotten them for 300 I would have spent eternity in hell listening to Vanilli Ice on some huge Altecs
