billll Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hi all, Anyone able to give me advice on what price they'd be expecting to on a pair of KB-WO's from the 1970's (not sure exact year yet as seller is away). Seller will provide exact year, exact condition and images when they return home. What would you expect to pay providing they are in good condition? Seller is saying $4400 is the going rate for that model in great condition, seems a bit high to me, or am I wrong? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 @wvu80 where's that dang spreadsheet? Should be pinned to Garage sale or something. You have worked so diligently to create and keep up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'll butcher the spelling but if they were Macassar Ebony or Ramblin Rosewood..... (or some of the other exotic veneers they used) I wouldn't let the price push me away yet.... but if they are walnut, oak...or one of the (no offense intended) pedestrian finishes.... then I'd be a lot more hesitant on the price.

billll Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Thanks so much for your help, it feels a little high from what I've seen around but I'm new to the Klipsch world and very much a beginner. Hopefully this spreadsheet might help provide some more answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 You area will dictate the price, some areas are higher than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend here in Indy, he's from England, I'll buzz him to see if he has any ideas on shipping. Seems like it has to be pretty expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you check with a Klipsch UK Dealer for B Stock Khorns or LaScala -or even Cornwall IV , the New Cornwall IV are actually amazing speakers - B Stock are brand new speakers with imperfections that can be anything from scratches to a corner damage - or a veneer issue - but they are rebated - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuzzzer Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I think I remember Cory saying B stock on Heritage is limited to U.S. retailers. @billll How long have you been looking for a pair of khorns? If I were you I'd much rather find something at least in Europe. I can't imagine how expensive shipping from the U.S. to you would be on them!

Europe is an option but the prices are far more expensive than the US, it actually looks like it works out cheaper buying from the US and sending over.
