    RF-83 system *Used* - fair price ?

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    So I was looking at the 83s (fronts) listed at 1400/pair on craigslist...just checked them out in the chicagoland area while i was in town here...these are B-stock, but have only been used for 3 mths....seller is an audiophile...listens to a whole lot of classical music (trumpets, pipes, etc.) and is happier with k-horns...

    Nothing wrong with the spkrs...i just demoed them...and haggled a bit to get him down to 1100...I'm thinking that aint a bad price given the details above?

    I haven't put any money in yet...have until tomorrow to close the deal. It may take a bit to carry them back home to michigan, but I wont mind the legwork if its worth it price-wise.

    Thoughts?

    Um, No.....Guy won't budge from his asking price...3K...not even by a buck [:(]
    seems pretty confident he'll get more out of it on eBay....he hasn't listed it there yet.

    I'm running out of ideas to make this happen...looks like I'd have to let it go...based on what I've read here it just doesn't seem worth spending that much for a 2.5 yr old system (w/o RS-62s').

    Agree ??

    I wish we had a yard. I'm working backwards here I guess **not thinking very clearly**...getting my sound ready before getting a house [;)] [and we may be closing on one shortly]. If I get these spkrs right now they would have to spend a few wks at a buddy's place before I get them in...talk abt priorities.

    As far as s/o...she knows what our basement is going to be like, we talk abt it all the time...so wont be a total surprise. I just need to ensure I have a bdrm down there :)

    I do want it...w/o maybe "overpaying" for it at 3k (asking price - firm)...I'd most definitely take it at 2.5...So do I really wanna go a bit higher ??

    As far as s/o...this will have to be a SURPRISE...she isn't too thrilled abt the rf-25s, rc-52 and the rsw-12d in my current setup...we don't quite have room for more equipment at this time although we will shortly...but in the meantime if I'm getting a great deal I'd take it....and not worry about upgrading for a WHILE...

    Or am I not making sense :)

    That was quick...Thx !!

    Anyway, seller has apparently lost his job and needs to sell. My final offer was 2.5k, and apparently he was already getting ready to put this out on ebay...feeling pretty confident he'll do better there. said he had pics ready to be posted..so on and so forth...It's been a week now and I haven't seen it out there :)

    Hi....
    Have been following this forum for a while...and finally joined.

    I'm looking at purchasing this 2.5 yr old RF-83 system (minus surrounds) I can get for 3K. Includes rf-83s, rc-64 and rt-12d. The single-owner seller demo-ed it well and it seems to be in mint condition....sonically and cosmetically.

    Question - Is 3K a fair price for this deal? Seller is firm at 3K. I know an all-new system (incl. surrounds) runs about 7K, although I've seen ebay deals around 5.5-6K...and I might get it for a bit less if I get lucky at local dealer/distributor outlets...

    It does seem like a decent deal to me...with a few other pluses (local sale, no shipping, guy purchased this at a local klipsch dealer and can help me out if there are any issues with warranty, etc.)

    Any thoughts?
