Foiled again.

Had my beady little eyes on a pair of Monitor 4 bookshelfs, via Ebay. Didn't seem to be much interest through the entire process. Thought I might have secured them for $55 including shipping...but was "sniped" in the last five seconds. Thus, it was not to be. Foiled again.

    I sold a pair of 4's locally last week for $40. Still have 2 pairs of 7's. One pair I'll keep for now, but the early pair with peerless I'll probably put on my local tri cities tn craigslist soon. Shipping on the bigger speakers makes the cost to buy out of state almost not worth it. Shipping to FL would probably cost around $75 plus $125 for the speakers and you see why finding something local would be your best bet.

    Keep your eyes open and you will find something local soon enough.

    Agreed! Unless you are willing to drive North a little bit. I would imagine Atlanta area CL would have a lot on it. LOL!

    I hadn't given Atlanta any consideration. Hmmm. (That's about a 5.5 hour trip, though.)

    Oh yea that is a bit far. What about Orlando? Is that the CL you are looking on? Jacksonville should have a lot too I would think.

    Sweet GL! I spent a lot of time on CL trying to find 7's or 5's for rears for my system. Persistence finally paid off.

    I'm a little digitally challenged. Took me a while to figure out how to do an "advanced search" which would limit results to within 50 miles of Gainesville. That saves me a bit of time.

    Tampa will have activity as well, if you want to take a ride over to the nicer side of the state :cheesygrin:
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    They might indeed. Let's see what happens.
