Talk:White van speakers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I was surprized to see that the "White Van Scam" was still around! I remember seeing them in the late 1970's in southern California. They were in every major parking lot searching for victims. Soapy 15:31, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- A scam survives as long as there is at least ONE person able to fall for it. Anyway, what is with that whole 'beer money' sentence at the end of the fouth paragraph? It doesn't mean anything. I'm removing it. Smith Jones 17:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

the invoices they show you list the company as "GoldCoast" something or other...
Again this information is from 2005 so things may have changed or moved. These speakers come on a pallet stacked 8-10 feet high and each speaker is roughly worth only $60-$80 (not a typo)
By the way, the beer money thing... was just a way to get a little extra money, also at the end of the sale they usually said "next time im in town we should have a beer together" also when opening a brand new sealed box to show to a potential buyer, for instance on the sub-woofers, the salesperson would reach their finger into the port and snap a wire or two, or poke holes in the speaker cone with a pen, or other sharp object intentionally damaging the product. I hope this helps some of you out.
