Actually your statement makes no sense. First off I'm not in a hole. The world isn't perfect and as much as some want unauthorized sales to go away they will always occur. Second you can't dig your way out of a hole. And no I'm not trying to get myself out of a hole; my stance remains the same. unauthorized sales occur.

My point is criminal activity will always occur and that's the truth. The downloading music example was supposed to show this point. THe music companies are even trying to encript their cd's in such a way that they can't be burnt, but there is always the guy on the other side finding a way around it. Referring back to the unauthorized dealers, they are not willing to setup a contract with the distributor and instead buy models from others that are soon to be replaced with new models. So my statement regarding the music was related. No matter how much you try to stop the crook he will find a way to succeed, this doesn't mean that you should stop trying to catch the crook, as this is up to the particular group that is being violated. My only point is not whether it is right or wrong, but rather that it does occur.

You got hosed Tommy you got hosed.

Oh, by the way how is it out at No-kali, I heard that island is pretty nice. It's out by Maui right? Waters nice and warm, soft sandy beaches, great water for snorkeling.

You got hosed Tommy you got hosed.

And my point was that you were using a less preventable violation to prove that a more preventable violation occurs...

Here's your logic:

X is a violation

Y is a violation

X happens a lot

therefore Y happens a lot

The problem with your logic is that X (stealing music) is almost impossible to control because nobody cares about warranties and dealer contracts when it comes to music...People *do* care about warranties with speakers and dealers *are* afraid of losing contracts with Adire

There are agreements made in the music industry that is supposed to prevent the early release of an artists music. The artist does care if music is released early by bootlegging and it still happens.

If you are getting an item for less than its MSRP, then some are willing to buy a unit without the warranty, especially if it's a top quality brand. Maybe I'm one of the few that thinks crooked enough (this is part of the problem with people in my state), there are ways around a warranty also. I won't mention them. I'll let you figure it out.

One last thing, when there is a will there is a way. That's what it comes down to. There would be no unauthorized dealer if there was no will for them.

You got hosed Tommy, you got hosed.

Actually someone has beat me to doing this, but it might be worth a try to see if the demand is high enough to sell some more eclipse online.

No, sorry, can't tell yet. First I want all the clowns that feel the world is a perfect place and feel that I'm lying to go ahead and criticize me. Someone say I live in a La La land and that I'm trying to dig myself out of a hole, which seems to be an act that you would try in La La land. I personally feel that I may be one of the few that didn't live in a totally sheltered La La land. I'm not directing this statement at you Wolfey afterall you did ask who where how, rather than you are a liar. I appreciate that. I'll give you a little information for being kind. The place doesn't sell their decks, but it does have their amps, and speakers.

Maybe I'll move to the island of No-Kali. I do like to snorkel. But I bet it is expensive to import goods to this island. Maybe I'll go to Maui and then take a short plane ride to No-Kali. Any cool sites in No-Kali?

I'm sure it does happen time to time to certain companies... but not everyone in the industry, and certainly not at a scale with which I think you're trying to imply. Yeah, maybe you could get a one-off equipment like that, but not very often, I hope.

 

[wolfey 10+ year member]

josh- true, i wasnt trying to direct anything at you just was wondering how you say it could be done when i had never seen it done with eclipse and actually some other high end companies... well actually i have seen some eclipse subs and stuff on a website but never there decks.. however i was just checking ebay and there are like 2 new eclipse decks being sold on there.. i'm not sure if they are being sold by a seller who is buying from a dealer though.. the price is pretty high, like as much as in stores i believe, so i'm not sure what the point is.

Some people may not have a local seller around their house, so they turn to the internet to get it.

And somehow I cannot blame them. Image Dynamics only has one.
