partaymon Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Hey All!! I haven't been around for awhile... too busy adjusting to getting married, moving, and changing jobs all at once! Anyway, folks, I've got a question: I have a set of five matching LaScalas. They were intended for use in a 5.1 system in a large Great Room. However, by the time I took delivery of them, both my job and my housing plans changed-- along with my marital status-- so I put them in storage for the past year. Here's the kicker-- they're BRAND NEW! (I never uncrated them after delivery-- the cartons are still sealed!) Four of the five have sequential serial #s; all are finished in high gloss Piano Black Lacquer, without grill cloth. Anyway, having sold my previous house, and then changed plans as far as building the new one, I now have absolutely no place to put them! I know that new Retail is apprx. $2k each. I also know that I had to wait six months for delivery of mine. However, the chance to sell all five as a set would be a highly motivating factor on my part! So what d'ya think, folks? Would $7,500 be unreasonable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PYRO Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 7.5K and no wait. That sounds like dream for some lucky person, not me of course. Where was the offer last year when I started building my system??? Ha! Ha! Good luck on the sale, I sure someone will pick them up.

j-malotky Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Sounds resonable to me. The matching set is a plus. wish I had the cash. Where are you located? JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partaymon Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 The speakers are in Terre Haute, IN. Approx. 1 hour from Indy, 3 hours from Louisville, Ky., 3 1/2 hours from St. Louis, and 3 1/2 hours from Chicago. Right in the heart of corn country!

partaymon Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 BUMP!! Back up to the top! C'mon guys-- is $7,500 too much? Should I split 'em into pairs? Should I advertise them as a "stacked system" with one speaker in reserve? I need some input here! Remember, I bought these six months BEFORE I got married! Now the old lady says they gotta go... and in the interest of marital bliss, I told her I'd see about selling them. (Remind me to change my moniker from "Partaymon" to "Old Married Guy!"

Randy Bey Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I think that's too much for one person to swallow. Split them into pairs and you'll have better luck. Sell the single one to someone who wants a center channel. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy81 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Where are they located? As in, what State? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 partaymon Cool Newbie, Hi glad to see someone from Terre Haute, IN on the Form! welcome neighbor..........When can I come over and see your LaScalas? Bill H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partaymon Posted September 27, 2003 Author Share Posted September 27, 2003 Bill H: You can see 'em anytime! As I stated earlier, I've never opened the crates. Currently, they're in storage in a friend's garage-- much better for them than out in my barn!) My job keeps my on the road quite a bit, but I'm usually home on Sundays. PM or e-mail me and we'll get together. E-mail is: partaymon@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 That's $1500 each, or $3000 for a pair. I just saw a mint pair go for $1500, which is almost climbing into good condition Klipschorn territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
