miketyler Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hi guys, long time no post, I know... As some of you know I found a deal on a THX Ultra 2 system earlier this year and now need to sell my old 7.1 Reference system (minus the sub). I'm looking for some guidance as I have run these in my local Craigslist for some time and I seem to only be getting interest from those in the <$1k budget range. Am I overpricing these? Granted it is a mix of REF IV and REF II speakers but they are all in excellent condition and to my ears probably sound as good as my Ultra 2 or better. The set consists of REF IV RC-52 REF IV RF-62 pair RS-62 II pair RS-52 II pair, with boxes I have them on Dallas Craigslist for $1400. Is that high for a mint set of seven speakers as listed?

I think you are spot on. You can always take less. Being mint that helps greatly to allow you to sell at the top end of the market. Best wishes with the sale.

miketyler Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Thanks for the reality check. Although not pictured they all have grilles in perfect condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opusk2k9 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Totally agree with Youthman. I have gotten $600 for RS-62s before. I'm in Chicago, so local pricing may be a bit higher. The only thing that might make it harder to sell as a set is the RC-52. The RS-62 are better than the center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtr20 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 The only thing I can think of, is bundling usually means cheaper. Parting them out by the set will usually get higher prices 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattSER Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I disagree with the pricing. Nobody will pay the individual price for each item if you're making them buy the bundle. If you sell everything together, you're not going to get more than $1,000. Probably $800-900 I'd say, sell the RS-62s separately, then sell the rest as a set for $600-700.

miketyler Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Good point, I planned to knock off $100-$200 off the set but I can absolutely see that scenario. The RS-62 II's are very popular and some may be seeking them out separately though I only have had a few emails on them.

Moderators Youthman Posted September 18, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 18, 2016 Someone recently was looking for a pair of RS-62ii. Can't seem to find the thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketyler Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Thanks, I just messaged him. BTW, just got yet ANOTHER offer for $750 for all 7 pcs...gotta love the Dallas CL market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted September 19, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 19, 2016 Nothing wrong with lowball offers. I've bought some things I didn't really need simply because the seller was willing to take my low offer. LOL. Patience will be the key. Just wait for the right buyer to come along.

miketyler Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 True that, I've been known to do the same thing. I guess it depends on what side of the sale you are on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketyler Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Just an update, I sold five of the seven pieces for $1k yesterday. $450 on the REF IV equipment and $550 for the pair of RS-62II's. Was nice to deal with someone that had done their homework and knew what they were buying. Still have the RS-52's in box remaining. Thanks for all the responses here.
