    How does one make such a claim?

    I see what he did. He listed a D140R and copied the listing to list the PR. Bad eBaying.

    I just noticed he 'fixed' the PR listing but not all the way. The listing title still lists a Passive Radial but the description mentions the D140R. No ohm rating.

    He's obviously a good old boy from Tennessee, maybe even a good old girl, trying to make a buck (and from the looks of it a flea market regular)
    NOT a JBL aficionado
    That church the passive, woofer and tweeter came from may even be his own
    Look at the other stuff "he's" selling, almost all miniature toys and action figures

    1480 feedback ratings and they're all positive
