I talked to them (it was a very open parking lot in broad daylight and there were other people around) and they told me some story about them working for a company but they got too much inventory of these "really good speakers" so they had to get rid of this extra speaker set. They offered to sell me these "really good speakers" for $400 - a REALLY cheap price for them according to the (probably fake) invoice that showed them as being ear $1000 PER SPEAKER. Of course, I didn't have $400 to give them even if I wanted to, so I made the easy response and told them that rather than getting into the obvious illegitimacy of the deal. They asked if my bank was around there and even offered to go with me to my bank....cause it was such a great deal and they had to get rid of this extra inventory. Obviously, I didn't do this because it was clear something was fishy.

I talked to one of my friends later that day about it and it turns out that this is a relatively common thing (at least insofar as he had heard of it beforehand). It was awhile ago, so I forget the logistics behind it all, but the point is they were definitely "hot" or something. Could I have gotten what appeared (on the surface) to be a really awesome deal on some sweet professional speakers? Yeah (ignoring the fact they probably weren't anyway). Did I want to do it involving obviously "hot" merchandise (if they're truly great speakers) or potential crap I know nothing about? No way.
