[net.consumers] OMEGA Z-7000 speakers

arnold@gatech.UUCP (Arnold Robbins) (04/11/84)

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.
