    Polk SDA 2 with Polk Center and Polk surround speakers for $299.
    http://denver.craigslist.org/ele/3436802043.html

    I'm tempted but no space and I like my current surround setup. Hmm...

    Bought these speakers without consulting the wife and... well they got to go.

    Funny how I read so many of these ads that start like that. If I had a wife that wouldn't let me have anything I wanted out she would go :twisted:
    Even funnier how many times we here the "I'm tempted" line!!

    This one's about to expire, but thought I'd throw it out here anyway. He originally had them at $1800. $1500 is probably fair, $1 - $2k would be a deal.

    The rest aren't worth anything, hardly $40 total for center and bookshelves but I offered him only for the SDA's.
    I have speakers to use so not in a hurry to get them at seller's price.

    Looks like the ones I got last Dec for $250. I had to buy a mw6510,a polk badge and make cable so say $300 to equal these.
    A good offer would be $350 if everything is good. IMHO.

    Folks, there is already a thread for vintage Polk Monitor & SDA's. Its in the Wanted forum (so those under 100 posts cant see it).

    I suggest we use the thread's that already exist rather than continuing to duplicate these entries in both.

    Looking for SDA's? Updated info here!: This one is a Sticky

    Looking for Vintage RTA / Monitor's? Updated info here! : This is not a Sticky, but I am going to PM the mod's to see if they can make it one.

    Yeah, both those threads have been around for a LONG LONG time. We should be using those instead of these IMHO.

    This is the place to post deals we see on the net. The "for sale" is for members selling their stuff. Nothing more annoying than going to a forum "For Sale" section and seeing links to other peoples things for sale. This thread opens up for others to share what some may not see, so there's my "What?????????????????????"

    Eh, its technically in the Flea Market which consists of a "Wanted" section and a "For Sale" section. Whatever floats your boat, but keep in mind anything you post on this thread can be searched and viewed by any person on the web, forum member or not.

    So while you think you may be posting a screaming deal you found for Forum members to get some SDA's, you might actually just be helping someone who never joins the forum snag them from a fellow Polk Member that wants em...
