I have been looking at a pair on CL but he is asking 125. I think thats a bit much. Anyone recently bought a pair or know about what their value is? Thanks

    $125 seems very pricey for 5JRs, IMO. That is pushing Monitor 10 prices. I paid $50 plus shipping for mine in January of 2010. Cosmetically they are in excellent condition and still sound very good.
