Yep. Stay at home drove up demand. Evictions sales are lagging. I am counting the hours to better gauge exactly how much they have gone up. At least in MLK. In general terms, if they sell in 1 day they were way too cheap. 1 month and probably got top dollar. More than 2 months and someone likely got price gouged. I find most recent listings are usually either too high or too low which throws off the averages. Time is a better indicator. My guess I give this one is less than 2 weeks away from being deleted. I would give $600 NP. Current value of the parts is about $500. I am more curious to just watch so I can better gauge this covid-19 market. Besides my current inventory needs thinning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTO Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I’m headed to Milwaukee on Saturday for some “OG” rf-7s., but I will not be bringing back $800 fortes. These prices have been crazy in the current environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last five were 300 - 700 - 475 - 1000 - 600. Of particular interest is the $300 set which is a confirmed price, FB Market Place. The other interesting sale was $1000, also a confirmed price on Facebook, Marketplace Klipsch Owners, Feb 2020. This set was described as "Mint" and was in original boxes.

314carpenter Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 I usually see this kind of thing happen when family sells your stuff from under you. Either that or a clueless person using a computer for the first time. They get mass calls from the usual flippers and boom price goes up and etiquette goes out.

It's part of my interest in this hobby to see what Klipsch prices are doing around the country. Besides, what else do we have to do? 😷 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely he is on a grind is actually anti capitalism. Someone probably gave them to the seller and he is being a DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things happen. Several of us have listed things that turned out to be a scam, or Chuck. I'm not going to stop trying to pass on great deals to fellow members. These things turn into entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
