Been a long time since I've posted here.

Tough times forces me to sell all of my HT gear and some SDA's as well.

Anyone have the time to give me an honest appraisal of it's current worth?

I can post pics here or email them to you if you'd prefer.

    Welcome back Frank, and sorry to hear about tough times, especially when you have to sell your gear. I'd estimate the value of your LSi's at about $1800-$2000 depending on the buyer, hopefully you can get more as I'm sure you have a whole lot more in them. There's some great deals out there on these speakers, it seems like a lot of people are being forced to sell lately. I'm not very familiar with your other gear, so I can't comment about that.

    On another note, if you're looking to sell the Polk Audio wall sign, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands and put a little coinage in your pocket :). PM me a price if you're interested. Cheers,

    The sign isn't for sale.
    Mathew Polk autographed that for me when I met him at a local audio shop a few years back, before he sold the company.

    I am going to be honest. You will have to list the LSi's on ebay or CL to get the best prices for them individually, or even as a set. There is another user selling a set of those exact speakers (in ebony) in box for 1k local pickup.

    The LSi's are at drop dead prices on Polks ebay's site so you need to get locals to buy em up. I would price the entire LSi setup at 1300 MAX here, but you might be able to get 1700 locally.....

    In regards to the rest of your setup, I dont know what to price them at.

    Hardly! Stuff happens that we often have no control over. You're doing what needs to be done, pathetic losers don't and would rather just whine. You're a good man and I have no doubt, will rise from the ashes.

    Good supportive post.

    Don't know you Frank but I'm sorry to have read and learn of your situation. Keep your chin up, you'll pull through eventually.

    One thing I've learned since coming here is that if you need to get out of this hobby for a while, you can always return and the people here keep that a reality. The gear will always be around.

    Best of luck

    Truer words never spoken. I have made it a point once a week to have 1 hour to listen to whatever CD I want all the way through alone (or with the wife) with my eyes closed just enjoying the music.

    I hope to stretch it to 2 hours in June :smile:
