    Re: What's a fair price for RF-7's?

    HOGFAN,

    Between new crossover networks and titanium diaphragms I noticed much more difference in sound with the titanium diaphragms.  The crossover networks did improve the sound but not to the same noticeable level as the titanium diaphragms did.

    The titanium diaphragms will cost about $60.

    If you want a crazy deal on a Klipsch sub, here it is:

    You are incorrect in your assessment, the orriginal poster has a perfect perception of recent values. The economy, not the price of new speakers is driving used prices and while some small recovery has come back to K-Horn and LaScala, they are not fetching what they did a year ago. I search Klipsch on ebay at a very minimum of 3 times a week and his assessment of $800 for RF-7 and $350-$400 for RC-7 is dead on.

                                            Roger

    I stand by my assessment regardless of what the second opinions are.

     

    Go argue with Ebay, your assessment is still incorrect on what they are currently selling for Broken Heart

    I don't just check out Klipsch 3 times a week for the last 4 or 5 years, I place watches on stuff so I have records of the final winning bids on RF-7s and other Klipsch products I am interested in. Below is the final sale price of the most recent really nice pair of RF-7s sold on ebay and the seller has 100% feedback as well. I bought my RC-7 in perfect shape for $350. If you are going to post a correction on someone, you should know what you are talking about. Facts are facts, whether you believe them or not, and there are three others here as well telling you are high on your assessment of current pricing. Time to take that pin out and burst your bubble!!

    A: Hi, To be perfectly honest these are the nicest used RF-7's you'll find. There is a small mark on the one back (slight blem in the verneer 1"X1/2") which was there when I opened them. No scratches no dings... Continue reading

    Re: What's a fair price for RF-7's?

    I don't get it...You post a pair of RF-7s that are in the ball bark of what I stated with shipping and there is even a guy in Holland that wants to know if they can be shipped there. I stand by what I think a fair value of them are and have no desire in trying to change your mind.  Fwiw, if  a person can get them cheaper than I stated, then imo they are getting a good deal. 

    EDIT: I just checked e-bay and there are no RF-7s for sale there now, so I contend if a person wanted to purchase one locally it is a sellers market. ;-) There is also only one RC-7 on there now for $450 and unless you live in Roswell, Ga it's going to cost you an additional $50 and then hope it arrives in good shape.

    tkdamerica,

    It says pick up only, and you don't figgure shipping in on the price as nobody is going to pay you for your shipping when you go to resell them. I suggest you step back and look at what you look like with your argument and ask the general concensus of others here if you have proved a point or dug a hole and keep digging.

    Remember this first and foremost; You corrected another, were you correct??

    As I belive that I am the aforementioned "Another", I'll be brave and stick my head back into this converation:

    I agree with both of you! Selling prices as of late are depressed; some people who are selling RF-7's and RC-7's have been hit by the economic downturn, and need the money are are selling cheap (I think we can all agree Big Smile that nobody would sell their beloved RF-7's or RC-7's unless something came up!) Others that are selling but aren't 'desperate' are still facing a depressed market where there are some deals to be had out there (if you look as hard as some of us on this forum do), and that's what sellers are currently up against.

    What is a fair price? I agree, as an owner, the speakers are worth more than they are commanding right now. Would I sell the three for what I paid for the three of them ($850). Of course not. They are worth $1500 to me. But now is not the best time to sell, but if you need a quick grand, you might need to.

    So I suggest we agree the above sounds about right, and perhaps move on to another topic, of say, like why would ANYBODY believe that a $795 AC power cord could possibly "offer clarity, depth, increased soundstage, resolution, lowest background noise, and more." Indifferent (At the very most, a power cord shouldn't induce hum into your other cables, but that's about it! Oh, and it could LOOK pretty if anybody can see your power cords.)

    How's that for opening up a can of worms and changing the topic! (Be kind, boys!)

     No harm intended. It is just the simple fact that I have came upon several threads when one of the posters in this thread always comes across rude. Abruptly rude in most cases. I couldn't refrain! Zip it!
