avguytx Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 If you're looking for the "highest bidder in a week", you need to just put these on ebay. This forum is not an auction site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted October 13, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 13, 2017 We really don't do bids here. If people are interested they need to contact you directly by PM and you can deal directly. Bidding has a tendency to pit one against another and we are not that type of place. I hid your earlier post as it appeared to be duplicating this one, among other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will sell to the highest bidder in a week. @Jared2007 While most here appreciate you offering up these fine speakers to members of this forum, we also know a thing or two about Klipsch speakers, namely vintage pairs like your Belles. Many of us have a good idea what "average" market value is based on location, finish, condition, demand, etc. so keep that in mind when your "auction" is not well received. With that said, I do hope you can sell them for a price that will make you and the buyer happy. Good luck with your sale. Bill 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were told what top dollar is for a pair and want a bidding war over the top price for a damaged pair of speakers. It is not like me to comment on these threads, but you can sit on these for a long time, finally sell them for what they are actually worth (as one needs a re-veneering at substantial cost) and then leave this community for good. We will not miss you. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff. Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I think the question about warranty was tongue in cheek making reference to their age. And matter-of-factly pointing out the “NON-CONSECUTIVE” serial numbers was discretely objectionable. I also noticed the most horrible of all possible crossovers (AB) and the metal K-400 horns. Less desireable to be sure. The sound from these would be enough to send the less mechanically inclined running from the room. This very combination in respective LaScalas and Khorns are responsible for most, if not all, of the negative reviews over the years. That and crappy amplification... There were also many scratches and chipped veneer visible in the subjective pictures. As a project pair of speakers, my offer would likely be insulting. But these may be just the pair of Belles someone else has been searching for at twice the price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Guys: this is in the Garage Sale section. If you don't want to buy them , then don't. As far as the comments some of you are making --- you are way out of line! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the comments some of you are making --- you are way out of line! I agree. No reason for insults from responding members as well as from OP. Constructive advice is good but criticisms and attacks does not prompt positive replies. Maybe time for a timeout to regroup. Again, good luck with your sale.

(Comment not worth repeating) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You joined here in 2013, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I understand his comments, but wouldn't have made them myself. To address the serial numbers, from the other thread his grandfather bought them in the military overseas, often that will mean they are not sequential. I am sure they were one of his prized possessions, that he hoped you would enjoy. But you stated they haven't been played for 5 years. Clearly, the $1500-$2500 range got you excited. Here people know what speakers are worth and mostly offer items at discounts to craigslist/ebay prices at this is a community. I bought a near mint pair for $1100 and a rougher pair for a LOT less than that, both in walnut. You stated a desired price, you can see what offers you get (I see an offer of $1000). If you don't like the offers post locally (craigslist, etc.) or ebay for maybe a higher price. I suspect that the $1000 offer is higher than you expected they were worth. Good luck with your sale. You are likely to turn off some potential buyers with attacking the regulars. Back to the potential sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofers and Tweeters Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I think some are misreading what's going on. He must have been told that he has to sell them, but he wants to keep them...hence the price. We'll played my man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really rubs me the wrong way and goes against everything that this community is about. He reached out to the forum and many went out of their way to help him with pricing and info. To respond to the warm welcome and help, he then turns around and wants us to start at the highest price mentioned for a perfect pair (and way above what they are worth) and have a bidding war. If this forum family acted this way none of us would be here. This really bothers me, but I will bow out of this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
