All,
I saw this listing on craigslist and was wondering if $1000 would be a good offer? The seller wants $1500

Polk Audio Two Wood Trimmed RTiA7 floor speakers (MSRP $499 each)
Polk Audio One Wood Trimmed Center channel CSiA4 (MSRP $249)
Polk Audio Pair of Black Surround Speakers F/XiA4 (MSRP $399 for a pair)
Polk Audio DSW PRO 600 12" Subwoofer (MSRP $599)
Yamaha RX-V765 AV Receiver with iPod dock (MSRP $649, plus $50 for the dock)
Harmony One Universal Remote with PS3 control (MSRP $274 +$50)
All premium wiring included! (MSRP over $200)

Any advice would be appreciated.

    The receiver is a bit weak to handle all that IMHO, but the price seems more than fair for all that stuff. Still, if you are going there with cash in hand, I bet 750/800 would be enough to buy it all.


    EDIT*** did not see the seller wanting 1500 part. I would not discuss price on the phone and just go see what he's got. Offer a grand and start counting, you might get luck. I would be prepared to walk if the price is not where you want it to be.

    It looks like this receiver has pre-outs so I would probably get a 3 channel amp and run the fronts/center with it. If $800 CIH is all it most likely will take it may be a great deal. I don't need half the stuff he is selling so I might just have him take some stuff out if I cant get the price I want.

    It's a steel if you get it all for $800. I have my doubts though. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

    I think the $1500 is a pretty good deal. Just searching completed listings on ebay I'm finding that The A7's sell around 600-800 a pair on ebay. The A4 probably another $175-200, the harmony another $100. DSW's around $300...

    Like all things on CL, it depends on how badly he needs the money. You can always give it a shot.
