Has anyone noticed several GE Blockbusters have shown up on EBay?
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html...t=See-All-Categories
That one with the LED upgrade is kinda neat. What do you think?

Convenient timing.....People read what we post here (and on Boomboxery), and if they see people talking favorably about a box, they use the opportunity to put theirs on Ebay.
And then another Blockbuster owner sees that Blockbuster on Ebay, and decides to get a piece of the action, so he puts HIS on Ebay, when in reality he should have waited a few months so that it's more rare.
OR it's the same Blockbuster being put back on Ebay multiple times, because it has a flaw that nobody is willing to divulge.

Good to know 
___
By the way, ebay membership is not enough, to really know, what boombox market scene is, you need to know what boombox people want and think, so you need to visit the forum, as most of the hidden sellers do.
So you had to be a member on here, to get this knowledge.

I've been around long enough to know who a lot of the members are on Ebay. I've seen several members post threads about how awesome a box is, and then 2-3 weeks later you see them post it on Ebay.
And there have been a couple people I've spoken to over PM, making an offer for one of their boxes, and then they suddenly decide to stop replying to me, and post it on Ebay instead, now that they know what the bottom price is.
And then there's all the boxes I've received, which had a small technical flaw, like maybe it sounds OK on stereo, but once you select Wide, one of the channels goes out........... Or maybe the highs are muddled and weak because it needs re-capping or some other work........Or maybe the surrounds are torn.........So they slap it on Ebay without telling anyone about those flaws......I have seen this several times, where someone who is selling a box had purchased it only 3 weeks earlier, according to their Feedback......So why do you think they are selling it so quickly? Most likely because they are disappointed by the technical flaw, so they want to pass it off to someone else without telling them.
Most people do not post their auctions randomly. They choose when to do it, to maximize the $$ they'll get. It's not a "conspiracy", it's just common sense.

Where and when did you become this genious that everyone needs advice from before they sell their boombox...hmmm? When did I ever demand that other people get advice from me before selling their box? LMAO.....
Yeah they are 30+ years old, no shit......But it isn't too difficult to write "The Stereo Wide setting has problems" or "The right channel is louder than the left" or "I can't hear anything from the left tweeter"
If you're honest at least

So this thread is about you all of a sudden? Why, do you have a GE Blockbuster on Ebay? I haven't checked, because I'm not interested in that box.
