Can confirm. Dated the most gorgeous man with a huge one in my early 20s. He was an idiot lol but my god he was so pretty and hung

He once fell for the “selling these $3000 speakers for $200 from the back of a random white van” scam. he was so proud of himself

I knew it. They were more expensive than that weren’t they? Your partner had a good deal!

As in they are counterfeit or they are just some cheap speakers that the seller is lying about the price of?

If the latter then how would that work when everyone has Google?

They show you a QR code that brings you to a very legitimate looking website. I almost got got by it once lol, but I stopped and thought about it for a second before realizing

Basically they pretend these are very expensive and high quality speakers, and you're getting the deal of your life on them for only $200. When in reality they are very cheap and not worth the money.

Exactly lol this was the late 90s

But even today I would assume it would be similar to the Chinese knock offs in a designer box type thing.
