PED Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hello, I have decided to try and sell my Klipsch heresys as I have not used them in years. I purchased these new in 1979 I believe. They are in perfect shape. What might they be worth, and what is the best method of selling them. I have no idea if people are interested in old speakers like this. I did see that that still make a new version of these speakers. Thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PED Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Thanks for replies. I will get them out of the closet tomorrow and take some photos and see if I can figure out how to post them. They were raw birch plywood when purchased, and I stained them a walnut color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeloManiac Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I live in Europe and bought a pair of 1972 Heresy speakers. They were not mint, but they look nice after some love & care. They have non consecutive numbers (but the numbers are very close), likely because they were sold by a US Army Base shop in Germany. I paid €600 for them and have no regrets at all.

PED Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 . Sorry these are not the best pics. The speakers are in excellent shape, no scratches. Grills are perfect. I live in SW Washington 1 hr north of Portland Oregon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinnitus Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Would you be willing to ship them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PED Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hello Tinnitus, yes I would be willing but I have no idea what that would cost. Was hoping I might get lucky and find someone fairly close so we could do an in person transaction. I know I am leery of buying something sight unseen, and relying on someones own assessment of what they have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinnitus Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Thanks PED, I understand your response. The value of Klipsh speakers varies considerably depending on location. If your willing to ship them, you will most likely get a higher price from a broader audience. However, I agree that a local, in person sale, without the hassles of shipping is preferable. Good luck with your local sale. BTW, the average shipping cost I’ve paid for my last few pairs of Heresy’s has been about $150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
