Add your location to your signature or ad. That might entice a local pick up. Sorry if I missed it.

IMHO 500 is the correct number. I have a pair that I tried to sell for 550. I got only lowball offers. I lowered them to 500 and got plenty of takers but shipping was an issue. I finally decided to keep mine for a 2nd system. killer speaker. Good luck with the sale. Should be no problem.

Just some gee wiz-- I sold a brand new pair for over $500.00 about 8 months or so ago, patience should pay off. The RB-81s are definately an improvement over the RB-35 and RB-5 IMO.

Thank you for the wise words guys, I shall keep my patience. I made a post on craigslist as well, see how that works out. Appreciate the help so far!

Rj is right. Patience is the key, especially in this economy. Gear is selling much slower than it used to, unless it is at a rediculously reduced price. I've heard it said that in real estate, there is only one way to have a "Quick Sale"....it's called cheap. If you can afford to be patient, it will pay off. It took several weeks, maybe a month to sell my previous Velodyne and I only had to reduce it by $50 over the period of the month.

It's totally a buyer's market right now so if you are a seller, and you want to get a descent price for your gear, patience will likely have to be part of the equation.

As far as other forums, try audiogon.com and craiglist.com. Audiogon charges to post items, CL does not. Audiogon has more audiophiles, CL has more common folk. Of course, there is always Fleebay if you want to go that route.

Good luck.

In my limited selling experience I've found that patience is useful :) I was trying to sell my KSB 3.1s for a few weeks on craigslist, no interest. I ended up agreeing to sell them to a non-local person at a cheaper price, and then 3 people emailed me about the craigslist ad!

Perhaps I was asking too much? Reduced the priced down to $500. Hope someone bites soon! Any recommendations on a different forum I should try selling if I am fruitless here?

Thanks for the compliments! I did my best. Hope someone likes the speakers as much as the pictures :)
