damn, those guys are annoying as hell
they're everywhere too, i tend to bump into them at gas stations

:lol damn these guys are still trying their "extra" stuff

lol i had some one pull up next to me while i was stuck in traffic on the highway trying to sell me speakers. was akward cause i told the guy no, but we were going 5km/hr for a good 10 minutes side by side.

The guys in the table try to sell me their shit yesterday at lougheed and boundry

That happened to me before. I pulled up in front of Future Shop, they pull up next to me and ask me if I want to buy a home theater setup for a great price. I give them that WTF look and say Umm no. He looks at me and laughs and says "Heard that one before eh?" and pulls off.

He has to be back at his boss' in an hour and wants to unload the "extra" shipment for some cash. I refused, assuming they were hot.

Strangely, the same thing happened to me again at the Home Depot lot on Terminal. This time a white Escalade, different guys.

Are they selling hot stuff? Has this happened to anyone else recently?

My only other thought is that they put together some really terrible equipment, and use the technique so the buyer "looks" like he's getting a good deal.

Kev

WTF I saw these guys today at Lordco on stillcreek, they asked my buddy if he waned to buy a surround sound or sum shit, they were in a dark coloured Tahoe, Haha They used that same excuse, I picked up my order and got double shipment.

^ Haha same except i was at beta autobody just down the road and they hassled me alil on their home theatre i think this is the 4 time it happened to me since last summer those guys are everywhere but i dont have good memory so i dunno if its the same guy doing it?

a warehouse i go to in vancouver is STACKED with Davinci home audio packages which is whats sold with this white van scam.. lol...

i wonder who buys this

yeah some white guys in a tahoe pulled up beside me and asked if i wanted a home theatere for 200 bucks lol

So long story short, they're not hot, just crap.

1 day my older brother comes home and rushing into my room looking all excited and shit.
He then starts to drag me downstairs and saying shit like "Check out what I just got!" and "I got a crazy deal!".
I get downstairs and guess what I see. DaVinci speakers! *facepalm*

last time they approached me i asked them if they wanted to buy some extra shoes i had.. that threw them off.

LOL this scam is so old and common, it even has its own huge Wiki entry :lol

Haha, this happened to me..

Guy: Actions to roll window down
Me: Yeah?
Guy: Want some awesome high end speakers for dirt cheap?
Me: Nah, but would you like to hear about Jesus and the latter day saints?
Guy: Drove away
