Empeg on ebay....Looks stolen to me - 23/01/2004 14:57

Says this thing is one week old? Broken handle? Looks to me like the owner zip tied it in and he broke the handle trying to steal it, then took the whole dash assembly instead. If I'm wrong I would suggest better pictures and description.

Good! Glad it seems to be legit. The one week old thing really sent up a flag so I thought I'd point it out.

That is NOT STOLEN. It is my empeg and I am selling the car. lol

Also the zip tie is to add extra support to the radio for the dash kit. The dash kit isn't made for a double din.

This player is only 1 week old. Has the smoked face. Blue face was replaced. Handle was broken by me while installing in dash. It was stuck in sled. I had to tighten screws on back of RIO to fix problem. It still can be removed out of dash without a problem by using two hands. See picture for handle. Handles are available from the club site at www.riocar.org.

This unit is being sold due to car issues. Haven't to sell car for a new one. New one does not have the space for a aftermarket deck at this time.

Need to sell fast. If interested please bid away!

Buyer must pay for shipping of $20.00, only to USA. Paypal only accepted. Still have original box, books, packaging, sled, cables, and software.

I purchased this unit from another owner at riocar.org. It was never used and was extras.

Retail price is over $1400 for this unit!

Do you want to modify some of that language? It's misleading, if not downright fraudulent.

Ummmm sorry but no where in there its misleading or not truthful. The original retail price of this unit was around that price I quoted. If you have nothing good to say SHUT IT.

303 was working on it, and still is. But his day job has him busy / out of the country for a while. This is still a work in progress, but it is still planned as far as I know.

Does 303 have a handles site up where I can pre order the handle?

There are no week old empegs, unless they started making them again and didn't tell us.

The original retail price of this unit was around that price I quoted.

Not a week ago

If you have nothing good to say SHUT IT.

The irony is delicious.

Not that I know of. He will not be back in country (if I remember correctly) until March. You can search the board for handles, and I am sure some of 303's posts will come up. He was looking at aluminum ones to match his fascia.

One week old INSTALLED. It has been in my hands since last month. It was never used before that and stored on the shelf from the last RIOcar.org member who had them. He had several.

Why the hell is everyone such a ASS on this forum?

One week old INSTALLED.

Yes, the point is you should be telling the eBay bidders that, and that was the point all along.

I can't speak for the rest of them, but you can only get crapped on so many times before you end up warped.

Perhaps not precisely but I'm as hard on my friends as I've been on you, perhaps harder. I guess they're gluttons for punishment.

Why the hell is everyone such a ASS on this forum?
Because the group culture on this forum is one of self-moderation, so if you do or say things that people don't think fits with the generally established and accepted decorum (which is actually pretty lenient here), someone's going to say something. If you give a good explanation for what you said, they'll probably let it slide. If you apologize, and make note not to do it again, they'll probably let it slide.

I've discovered in life, that if someone outside a group claims everyone inside a group is an ass, typically it's the other way round.
