Godataloss Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 You sound as if you're speaking from experience, so I'll take your word of authority. You claiming the grills having equal value to the Cornwall speaker, you might try take someone's word in other matters. You might try reading closer. I clearly said nearly half the value. He's asking $1000 so around $400. I would not sell them for less than that. I refinish and sell high end furniture. You also might try taking someone disagreeing with your opinion more gracefully.

Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk I'm sorry, but your $400 valuation figure is way out of line for Cornwall cane grills, not sure where you are getting your info. However, if you know anyone willing to pay that kind of coin for cane grills, please, let me know..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if I buy these, you will give me $400 for the grills? If so, Schu might hold / enjoy these for me and ship you the grills for $400 plus shipping. I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. Are you in? And, your Grace, you're the one who called me out when i shared that I think that the light colored wood would "pop" better with black grills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I can see I've run into the den of unquestionable authority. Clearly read again. I said I would not sell them for less. I sell furniture. I would not be a very good business man if I sold stuff for what I paid for it. I'll tell you what I will do- I'll swap you a pair of shiny black ones you hold so highly, you know so they "pop", lol.

It wasn't that long ago, so it's easy to remember what you said, but you might reread what you said "Replacing those beautiful cane grills with black would be a travesty. The grills are almost half the value of those speakers." You put a $400 value on them, I will put in the rest. You've not ran into a den of anything except for a group of people who are only trying to help. Also, you said that my opinion was absurd...I know, you used the word travesty, but synonymsously they mean the same. Pardon me your Grace, please forgive me if you're not as righteous as you sounded. Anyhow, are we buying the speakers or not? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I've run into a dude with poor taste and bad reading comprehension. You will find that as you navigate the internet and life in general really, people will question your opinions and point out flaws in them. Your immediate response should not be to try to manipulate their plainly written statements in order to try to save face I promise you that if those speakers were not half a world away from me, they would already be mine- grills and all. You seem like a last word at all costs kinda of guy, so I'll just leave it at that and let you make another machismo-salvaging salvo at your perceived financial superiority.
