amheck Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Saw these on FB, they sat for a few days so I offered a grand. Seller said ok and that he was leaving for a trip in 3 hours and would be back in a week. It would have been tough to get over to him in time but in hindsight I should have just done it that day. Msg'd the seller on the day he got back. Saw the speakers were now marked as SOLD. He said the person who bought his Heresy pair is buying these for the $1200. While I kinda figured we had a deal, I guess I understand. Oh well. At least he was honest about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 If I was the seller I would have contacted you and said you had another offer at full price and given you the opportunity. I had a similar experience a long time ago trying to buy a pair of RF-25s. Made a deal with the seller but couldn’t get there for a few days. The morning I was supposed to pick them up I messaged the seller and asked for their address and they messaged me back and said they had already sold them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 It sucks that you missed out. But the way heritage prices are going these days, you can't really dicker too much. If in good shape, 1200.00 is very fair. Hell I just saw a pair of original Chorus speakers listed for 2500.00 last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 @amheck Classical story , you have a crazy deal , you wait , and they are gone to someone else who paid a tad more , 1000$ for a mint pair of Cornwalls is peanuts , and BTW Florida klipsch prices are the lowest in the USA ,not sure why ? but no worries , there 's a lot of fish in the Sea in Florida , wit tons of deals all year round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amheck Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 Yes, prices are good here. I was Def a buyer at 1000. At 1200, I probably wasn't even though these were walnut and did look mint. I really have my heart set on La Scalas but was curious about the CW and figured these could have been moved to the rear later, but honestly the Forte or something like that would be a better fit anyway. Half of the fun to me is getting a deal. Paying full asking price takes some of the excitement out of it for sure. So I'm OK with this. I did think about them all week and would have been more upset if he sold them out from under at a 1000, but at his full price, not sure I would have jumped on them anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelwjones Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Come on up; it's not that far. A little over 10 hours on interstates each way. In the 80s, I lived in Boca Raton and would drive home to KC to see my parents on a long weeked. It was a day trip then... 😳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amheck Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 I was just about to post to see if anyone was traveling from your area down to Tampa or FL even. Those will def not fit in a Wrangler so I'm thinking there'd have to be some sort of rental car involved, too. I'll give it some thought for sure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 won't fit? I stuffed a pair of LS into a Nissan Versa and drove them from Chicago to Tucson... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a PHEV, battery is under the rear seats so they barely even fold, don't get close to flat so you lose a lot of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwjones Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Fly up on SouthWest and rent a van from Enterprise. Since you'll have so much room left over, I'll toss in some speaker cables and spare tubes. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
