halfclue Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 I am selling a pair of 1980 La Scalas in pretty good shape. Other pics available by email if you wish. There's a few scratches, dents, etc. This is in another post, but it was about La Scala prices in general, so I decided to put up a specific post. I am asking $1200. On ebay right now, there's a pair that looks really bad and the price is already over $1200. I don't want to ship, this would be a pick up item. I live north of Philadelphia. I'll wait a couple days and put these on ebay as well. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeybelle Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Hi Mike, What is the working condition? Everything sound ok? Will check out the pics later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfclue Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 They sound great. Anybody interested would be welcome to come and check them out thoroughly. They weren't used that much or very hard during their babied existence in my house. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 They are beautiful, even with a scratch or two. Just curious as to why you're letting them go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfclue Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 I am letting them go because the wife didn't like their appearance...so I got some Belles. Actually, I think the La Scalas sound better than the Belles. I got some ALK crossovers for the Belles and that helped. They have been sitting in the formal living room for two years and the wife is running out of patience. Sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfclue Posted May 9, 2003 Author Share Posted May 9, 2003 Some La Scalas just went on ebay for $1499. See item #3022384191. I don't think those looked too nice. Oh well, I'll give it a couple days and off to ebay we go. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Ah hah, the WAF. I guess that's one reason why I'm still single! Any future girlfriend/wife will have to accept my Cornwalls...they're a part of me that's not going anywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 My wife knew when we got married 21 years ago that I would get rid of HER before my cornwalls.lol "How do you expect me to decorate around those huge zebrawood things?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Some years ago my wife told me that if we divorced, she was taking the stereo and leaving the kids with me. That was a sobering thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwood forest Posted May 11, 2003 Share Posted May 11, 2003 DaddyDee, at least you have a wife that enjoys music and stereos. That's one up on most of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfclue Posted May 11, 2003 Author Share Posted May 11, 2003 Thanks for looking at these. A few nibbles...no bites, so off to ebay we go. Wish me luck, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfclue Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 I can't believe it, but the La Scalas already sold on ebay. A fellow did the "buy it now" option. Less than 24 hours. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frzninvt Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 He did damn good, he got $1750 for them! He got more than double his reserve price. I guess Heritage speakers hold their value very well! I sold my Belle's for $1625 on a Buy it Now in less than 12 hours just last month. I used the money to buy a pair of Khorns and a pair of La Scala's.
