    Depends on the condition and where you are located. In mint condition you may get $200. Price will go down according to condition.

    We need more info than that. Pictures would be best.

    To throw out a ballpark figure, a decent pair will usually fetch between $75-125. I've seen them as high as $250ish, and as low as $5.

    A lot of it depends on the condition, and which tweeter they have. There were several different versions of the M7's.

    Two speakers or two pairs of speakers?

    I've bought several pairs of Monitor 7s, and the most I ever paid was $85, which included a complete 80's era Technics system in somewhat questionable condition. However, a stock minty pair with stands, etc., could reasonably sell for anywhere from $50 - $150. IMHO, any more than that would be overpaying (although the sound quality would justify more).

    are the tweeters black silk dome or translucent "silver" plastic...

    or put another way is there two lines at near a 45% angle going up or down or is there two horizontal lines extending out from each side of the tweeter...

    this makes a world of difference in their "perceived" desirability

    You have Monitor 7c speakers with the SL2000 tweeters.
