edited January 2016 in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
Up for your consideration is a pair of Peerless equipped RTA-12B's. One of the top hat corners is broken, which makes the front of one of the top hats sag a tad. It's slight but it's there. These will also come with two extra Peerless tweeters mounted in RTA-12 tweeter plates and one extra MW6600X midwoofer. Looking to get $250 with the extras, local only please. (Evergreen, CO) I do have a dog if you view that as a negative as far as purchasing anything from me, I want to be up front.

These are older pictures, obviously when I was only running off an AVR. They are in the exact same condition as they are now.

    Those all sound like deals to me! :)

    Looks like a great deal to me.

    Final price drop $200 with the extras, posted on Craigslist. Really want these out of here soon, might see if a friend wants them if they don't sell.

    Yeah, 17 hours is quite a hike. You'd have to be a glutton for punishment to drive anywhere close to that for a pair of speakers.

    $175 for everything. That's only $100 for the RTA-12's, I'm moving this to a steal instead of a deal I want it gone. I can probably throw in enough Dynamat to do the MWs and PRs too. Thanks for looking.

    Yeah there is another person in Denver trying to sell some SL1000 RTA-12's for $700 down from their original price of $800. They'll figure it out eventually. It being what they're actually worth.

    I bought a pair of SDA 2B's.

    Trades welcome. LPs in good shape, good power cord for my amplifier, something I didn't know I needed? I also have a Yamaha CA-1010 integrated amplifier that has a channel out I could add if necessary. I hear that it could just be the preamp coupler switch on the back. Could be an easy fix, could also not be I don't know.

    I can't believe these haven't been scarfed up. Are you kidding me? $175 for the speakers and you get two extra Peerless tweeters and a woofer? That's $100 for RTA 12B's.

    Can you believe I have had people on Craigslist offer me less and wouldn't buy when I wouldn't budge? You could already buy this and resell for a profit if you had the storage space and patience, you want me to give them to you for EVEN LESS? Go fly a kite.

    If you offered them for a dollar on Craigslist, they would try to get them for a quarter. It's a mad, mad, mad world

    May be bad timing.
    I sold my 12C's for $225 pretty quick without any extra.
    Just list them and wait for the right buyer.

    Man I had seen them forever in Craigslist. It's true about the CL leechers. I rarely post but completely stopped posting anything for sale in CL here in denver after someone offered me $10 for the yamaha sacd player I posted for $60. His reason was no remote and the remote will cost him $20. He even had balls to say, "if you don't sell it in a week let me know I will still buy it for $10". I said, you know what I won't sell it to you even if you offered me $100.
    I have noticed our local Craigslist has really gone down the drain with leechers and flippers. Good luck nightfall, I would have bought them from you if I had space for any speakers at all in my apartment.
