Matty204 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Hello from Winnipeg, Canada...I'm new here but not new to Klipsch. I had an RF-82 5.1 channel system a few years ago then switched to Paradigm Studio and now just recently switched back to Klipsch with an RF-83/ RC-64/ RS-62/ RT-12d set of speakers that I picked up locally. The RT-12d sub is quite impressive but I'm planning to go bigger so I'm thinking of selling it...I would like to get the most I possibly can for it but still want to be reasonable, so I'm looking for opinions on what to ask for it on here or on e bay, etc. before I actually go ahead and list it. I know that these are the most powerful and most sought after/ hard to find sub in the Klipsch reference line so I would imagine I can get a decent amount for it. It's in excellent condition with the original box/ packaging, ARC set up mic, grilles, etc. Edited March 26, 2017 by Matty204 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Matty, Welcome to the forum. Don't quote me on this but I imagine my cherry RT-10d's would go for around $450.00 each if I was to sell them so the cherry RT-12d should fetch near the $550.00 to $600.00 range. Black slightly less on average IMO. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty204 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hmm ok I was thinking that they were worth quite a bit more then that...I'm planning to list mine on e bay in the near future and start at a fairly high asking price and see what happens. If someone has one of these already and wants a second one bad enough I'm sure they'll be willing to pay a premium for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone has one of these already and wants a second one bad enough I'm sure they'll be willing to pay a premium for it. there is almost no sales history of these on the net. the only one i found was from 2013 and it sold for what would be $825 us dollars 1100 canadian if we assume there was no obo. if there was it would be less http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649095784-klipsch_rt12d/ it's 4 years older now. if you were going to aim high that could be a starting point one also sold recently here but you would have to pm the guy for a price as to what he got http://www.avsforum.com/forum/209-audio-gear/2736649-sf-bay-area-klipsch-set-rf-83-rc-64-rt-12d-sub.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty204 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 This is the only recent one I could find... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-RT-12D-Powered-Subwoofer-Black-Item-Was-A-Store-Demo-/272329804775?_ul=AR I listed mine on e bay for $1895 CDN...as far as I can see it's the only one for sale anywhere so we'll see what happens.

opusk2k9 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 My RT-12d took a long time to sell and ended up selling for $750. I am in the Chicago area, where there is a pretty good market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not look like the one on Ebay sold. Can't hurt to start high looking for that one crazy obsessed buyer who has to have it but it may be a long wait.

jjptkd Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I've never had the RT-12d but have had a couple of the RT-10d's, great little subwoofers. I thought the RT-10's were pretty comparable to the RSW-12 so I imagine the RT-12 would give the RSW-15 a good run for the money. If you need a sub why don't you just keep it? Can't imagine you'll do a lot better in a similar sized cabinet for the money. One thing to consider is the brand new Palladium subs are selling right now for $1950 shipped with warranty direct from Klipsch which should put a bit of a cap on your sale price considering its used, 10 years old? with no warranty. Still, I would think considering the performance and rarity of the RT-12 I'd think somewhere around the $1000 mark wouldn't be too far off. Nice system by the way and good luck with your sale! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
