cob1708 Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 ebay # 5737949741 In case any of you have $1800 to spend...There are three Academy's for sale on ebay... Will they go for for a fast "Buy it now" option of $1800? Any guess what they will go for? It should be interesting. I would think the seller could have sold then separately and in the end he would had made more money... Let the fun begin!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I have been pondering the notion of buying these. I need some room in the rear and my '62 Cornwalls are taking up alot of it, especially since I have Khorn's in back. I could use two in place of the Cornwalls and sell off the third to someome but I don't know if I could bring myself to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 No need to ponder anymore - they are gone! The seller just got himself a nice wad of cash for Christmas! Damn maybe I should sell mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cob1708 Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 Well...that sure didn't take long. $1800 for three Academy's is about the going rate. I wonder if the person who bought them will use them in a HT system or will he keep one and sell the other two? I think the prices these Academy's are getting I am going to monitor the local newspapers as I travel throughout the Midwest and down south. Who knows...maybe I will stumble on some good deals.

Frzninvt Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I hear ya! If someone were to offer me $700 for mine I could possibly be talked into parting with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 The mystery bidder is revealed.me. Kind of funny story I was composing this very related message http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=58117&sessionID={0E7922A4-B5E1-4F87-BA01-A786920DFB8A} when I decided to check ebay for an Academy. I was shocked to see the 3 up for bid. Not a great price at allbut certainly market value as of late. I was very surprised at the OO one that went for 680, as I had requested pix from the seller and it is in way worse shape then the black ones up today. I currently have an exceptional OO and my plans are to use either 2 of the Academys for sides or all 4 (3 from auction and mine) for rears/sides of a 7.1 set up. If I go the all 4 route I will need to Trade my OO Academy for a black one as I think having on Oak one in a batch of four might look odd. Anybody have three OOs they want to trade for three black ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Mine is black, and I would trade for a "OO" one. Mine is not perfect though, it has minor ding or two and it appears as if someone used like six tiny eye hooks to suspend it at one point in time. It has like six pinhead sized screw holes in the top of it, it appears the original owner filled them in pretty good though and they are not as evident.

rplace Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I'll keep you in mind. I want to first get the new ones...try various combinations of Heresy and Academy in the back (6.1 and 7.1) before I decide if I will *need* 4 black ones. Assuming 2 heresys and 2 academys fit and work well in my 7.1 set up. I will keep the OO for my current TV area and be looking to get rid of one of the balck Academys.
