Hi. A friend of mine who is no longer on the net asked me to post this
for him. Please respond by mail, since I don't read this news group.
He recieved an advertising/market-test blurb for OMEGA Z-7000 speakers,
indicated as $1000/pair speakers, but they'll sell them for $600, AND give him
a $250 rebate for answering a questionnaire that will come w/the speakers.
So he is paying $350 for (what they say are) $1000 speakers.
This is from "World Marketing Association", a division of S&H Marketing Group,
Inc. 707 N. MacArthur, Irving, Texas 75061, (214) 253-3667.
1) Anybody heard of these people? Are they reliable? Honest?
2) Anybody heard anything about OMEGA speakers? Are they worth $1000?
Are they even worth the net $350 he'd have to pay?
Note, he has to reply by April 22, so please reply quickly, but briefly.
I will give him your responses.
Thanks in advance,
Arnold (give me a walkman :-) Robbins

I just received my second solicitaion for the Omega Z7000 speakers.
This one came with a photo of a voluptuous bikini clad blond standing
next to the speakers.
These speakers supposedly sell for $1000 but as a "Promotion" a firm
is selling them at $600, and in addition is giving a rebate check worth
$250 dollars towards their purchase. I have now received two such
checks. When I receive a third one I will send in the three checks,
get the speakers for free, and also $150 change.
Sounds like a good deal.

I'll resist the temptation to comment further other than to say that I have to think twice about any "promotion" which runs that long. Doug Hosking ..allegra!convex!hosking
