I called this guy at 5 p.m. and asked if they were sold, he said, well I am not sure, guy came by today, said he wanted them but had to talk to his wife.  He called back and said wife said o.k., and he will be by tomorrow at noon to pick them up.  I told hm that if he did not show I would could be there with 750 cash by 12:30.  He said I was for sure No. 2 if No.1 did not pan out.  So everyone keep their fingers crossed, cause if I get these someone is going to get a killer deal on a pair of K-Horns.  They are raw birch, he purchased them in 78, says the cabs are in fair condition, but horns/drivers are all perfect.

I will let you know

If I knew who she was I would call her and offer her 500 to change her mind, and it would still be a good deal.

Forget about the 'other guy'. Take truck and blankies, show up first thing in the am with $500 crisp bills in one pocket, misc $50's crumpled in other pockets. (old trick from Johnyholiday- good one Johny). Plug em in, act unimpressed, start dealing!

 Good luck!

Michael,

 I know what you are saying, but I had a long talk with seller.  Very stand up guy, he has made committment to buyer no. 1, just like me made committment to me as No. 2

Sounds like you need more than Good Luck! But I'm rooting for ya!

750 is a totally fair price for a pair of k-horns no matter what the condition is, just pay that and be happy you got a super deal, this beating a guy down stuff has a place and time i cant see where this would be it ......... of course this is assumeing you get the call to go ahead with the deakl

What "I" would do here is bank on wife agreeing - then totally freeking out once they get in her house and she sees them with her own eyes, where they are going, etc.

For him to mention "wife" that means there's already a potential issue.    I would want to somehow get my name/number in the buyer's hands.   1) Wife might freek  2) Might have placement issues  3) Might not get it to sound good  4) basic buyers remorse......   etc. etc.    Obviously, for this guy to not buy them sight unseen and/or say "gotta talk to wife" over spending a mere $750 for khorns - something's amiss all the way around.  I would BEG the seller to give the buyer my contact info in case things didn't work out (even if 2 months down the road).  This one has a good chance/potential.

If you really want the speakers and the seller does buy them, go help him load them and talk to him. Unless he already has KHorns, he will need help.

Good luck and let us know!

You will get yourself 1st on the buyers potential sell list also.

Pay the $750. and thank the man upstairs for such a good deal.................We all know that's a steal, don't we?

We sure do!  I wish I got that good of deal on my first pair of K-Horns.  These will be going to someone on the forum, I already own a pair.
