CWOReilly Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) I've been looking for months and nothing comes along that is within my budget. Anyone here have an older pair they want part with for a reasonable price? Preferably in north Georgia.

geoff. Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Welcome to the forum! Soooo... what would be considered a “reasonable price” these days? I don’t “need” another pair but if I saw a working pair for a grand or less I would drive non-stop for half a day to give them a good home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWOReilly Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Thank you! I'm happy to be here. I would consider a reasonable price for stock originals at around $1000-$1500. All I keep finding locally are people expecting several thousand. Probably because they see new ones at 10k and go "Oh! we can easily get 5k!" and still half a day away. Local ebay sales even tell me my reasonable price isn't far off. So I hope someone here may be able to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Closest I've seen in our region has been TN, FL and DC the last couple of months. I passed on a NM pair with an unattractive dark finish a couple years ago because of narrow twisting, turning stairs on a two storey deck. Regret not making it work since. They pop up in the ACC infrequently. You'll have to be patient, pay big $ for palletized shipping or see if Cory @Paducah Home Theater has some B-Stock.

CWOReilly Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 I've waited this long. I thought about some new "B" stock, but I really want to stay in my budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be afraid to look outside of your local area. Uship is a great option at a reasonable price, usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessem4 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 If you were interested in some minty CW ii’s with upgrades, I have some in your budget. I’m local, too. Doubtful (since you specifically said la Scala’s), but thought I’d throw it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pintoracer Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) The guy I bought mine from originally asked $8000. I told him $1500 was as high as I would go and he said “is that each?” I told him no that’s for the pair. He refused at first, then he called me two hours later and told me to come get them. Just wait for the right ones to come up for sale. Edited November 20, 2020 by Pintoracer Alteration 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait for the right ones to come up for sale. That was lucky. Only guy that I had a $1500 deal on a pair with sold them to someone else the morning we were to actually make the deal. Turns out he didn't really sell them. His ad popped back up weeks later. He wouldn't reply to me. We assume he was just phishing. What looks like the same pair popped up yesterday in a different city. I'm tired of liars, cheaters, and scammers. So I'll just keep waiting for the right ones to come along. I think it's been around 2 years now of just waiting. 9 months of actively searching. Edited November 20, 2020 by CWOReilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you find some real soon. They are worth the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
