Wanted: Any one have some decent speaker wire?

For small quantities of stuff like speaker wire - or anything relatively inexpensive - I usually email people looking for quotes on large-ish orders (which of course will never be placed) - been doing it for years, titanium bolts, alloy bolts, (audio) cable, batteries, paper, pens, weird science-y crap like thermal-paints . . . basically any cheap shit.

Make an enquiry about a large order - include your name and address somewhere (don't be blatant) - and watch the samples turn up a couple of days later - often without even asking. You need to make the email sound legitimate - and make any request for a sample appear as an afterthought - or even leave it out all together.

This sort of thing (if I were after speaker cable):

Hi there,

I am looking for a quote for the following of your products:

2200 x 4 metre lengths of XXXX speaker wire
1100 x 3 metre lengths of XXXX speaker wire
1100 x 2 metre lengths of XXXX speaker wire

These all need to be pre-cut to length and be reasonably accurate - we don't need them to be millimetre accurate, within a centimetre or two should be fine. All cables need to be in black.

The order, if placed, would need to be met by late July (currently July the 28th, but this date may change) and likely be repeated on a 6 month cycle.

All the best.

XXXXXXXXXX

XXXXX Audio/Video, XXXXXX address XXXXX London.

P.S can you forward me the name of who we should contact to source some samples in 3 metre lengths.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Most sales reps would not think twice about throwing some samples in the post - if they wanted the order. It's evil I know, and I should have better things to do with my life, but someone needs to plough the edges of reasonable behaviour.

fantastic!!!
