Dodgy home theatre systems

In the last 3 months twice I've had a white van pull up to me in shopping centre carparks asking if I wanted to buy a cheap home theatre system. It's all in packaging and brand new. They even show you a broucher and retail price. Now I know there little story they give you about how this deal came about is a load of crap so I told them not to bother talking shit. My question is has anyone bought one of these units and are they any good. As the deal is very tempting.
