    If you're in central NJ, $50 seems about right....

    Otherwise, anywhere from $100-$250 depending on condition.

    $100-200 I'd guess. They're an underrated speaker.

    I paid $40 for mine needing a tweeter.

    Welcome to Club Polk.

    But you are also talking about a pair of 20 or more years old speakers. Do you really expect to get what you paid for them after all those years?

    It's not going to happen, unless you are lucky enough to have some newbie come along who doesn't bother doing any research on them.

    It all depends on location. I'd pay $200 if they're in good condition.

    I got a pair for 100 in perfect condition a couple months ago, he also had a pair that was a little scuffed up for 75. I think that was a good deal though. I would say at 150 its fair for you and the buyer in todays market. At 200 it would probably still sell but will take time. Another thing you might want to consider is that any price you list it at, someone will try to haggle for less. So set the asking price a little above what you actually want to get out of them. It gives room for negotiation.

    And if someone gives you the asking price, you get a little more out of them.

    A pair. Non-big-SDA Polks don't hold a ton of value. Surprising, but that's the reality. The T series also suffers from being stuck in between their traditional small speakers and the newer or bigger stuff.

    They are a decent speaker and I would buy them from you for 100-150 if I were in the U.S. if they were in working order. More than that they'd have to be ALMOST NEW on the audiogon scale...at least a 9 if not a 10 out of 10. And that's not likely given their 'age'.
