La Scala near Richmond, VA $1,100 asking

I put them in the Heritage Prices Spreadsheet as condition C "average."  The seller lists them as having a vinyl finish which looks very reddish to me, and inside the dog house is a faded black.  With no other information, no sn, no year, I'm not sure I would go above $800 for them.

That is average?  Are you serious?

I rate speakers like a report card, ABCDF.  There are no A's with very little exception, B has a good cab, clean finish.  These are C or D.

 

Obviously it's hard to tell from two poor pictures, no sn and no year.  I'm genuinely interested in your opinion, what is your assessment?

 

I forgot to answer your question, sorry about that!  Yes I'm serious.  B)

The "reddish" look - being vinyl - would be unusual even as drawer liner paper which comes in financially viable roll's... along with only 2 pictures and a brief description, lead's me to believe and wonder why E has been left off all report card's since the beginning of our modern school system of grading....

I question the pricing sometimes because it does not go along with what I personally pay and sell for. This is for the Middle Tennessee area. I fix my stuff up though  but still I have people drive four and five hundred miles to buy at higher prices than are  on that list.

 

  These have been listed before same guy same pictures and never sell.

Yeah these are C- or D, in my opinion.  There's more going on here than a first glance will get ya....  Like this:

What I believe are fixes to the front (though I could be wrong) and de-lamination on the side.  A different piece of damage on the other speaker on the lower right just above the boot, and tape on this speaker on the left - holding something on?

I'd put them squarely in the D camp....

Ah, thanks.  I could easily go along with that.  I have the LS's grouped by A&B, then a separate row for CDF, so in terms of the number crunching it would come out the same either way.

I didn't look at them as closely as you did.  If there is de-lamination going on that drops them to D or F, although I usually reserve a condition of F for speakers which have multiple bad drivers or drivers replaced with who-knows-what, mold, or have been set on fire. 

 

I guess having rat's remains in the bass bin qualifies for F too, right @Youthman:lol:
