2 Early 80s Heresy HBR (V1 or 1.5) - How to get these to a new loving owner?

Hi smarter people,

 

I've got two Heresy HBRs I inherited (Serial number on the back is 168Y931). While they are cool and sound awesome - I live in a small home with kids and a wife - all of whom don't care for these monster speakers taking up space. I also likely don't appreciate these the way I should and would definitely appreciate their fair value in my pocket.

 

So - How do I go about finding these a new home? What's the best place to sell them? I'd hate to ship them. I live in Dallas, TX so there's gotta be enough of a market for someone who does value these babies.

 

Also - what is fair value? I don't want to squeeze out every dollar. I'm not opposed to making someone's day with a good deal. I just don't know if they're $100 total or $1M.

 

Thank y'all.

001 is right; $500 is the "good deal" starting point, depending on condition. If they're in good or better condition-cat didn't use the grills for a scratching post, kids didn't push the woofer dust caps in, no chipped birch veneer, watermarks, bad stain jobs; you get it, then $500 is a bargain.

 

So you can offer them on craigslist for a FIRM price of $500, or price them higher and leave yourself some wiggle room for the buyer looking for a steal.

 

Facebook Marketplace and craigslist are your best sites for local sales-that's where I found my Heresy's!

I'm in Dallas. Have you sold the speakers?

My kids were no longer living at hope when I put these in the house. They weren't able to visit before I finally sold the big black horns. The smaller La Scalas I gave to my older son, and is now enjoying them along with his kids.

 

This room has changed a lot since this pic was taken, and I honestly regret getting selling those big black cabinets. My wife never complained about them, and is putting up with other large speakers I am now working on. Everyone needs to see large speakers once in a while, just to gain some perspective.

 

Good luck!
