Sadly moving them on

in Vintage Speakers
Hi helpful audiophiles,

I have a set of Polk tower 8T 23484 speakers that I've had since university ('89 or '90
I think). Sadly they have sat unused for several years as I am in a condo which just can't accommodate them. I did get them checked out and some minor maintenance on them a couple years ago, and they said they were in great shape. My question is what would be a fair market price for them now, and any suggestions as to where to advertise them to people who would be interested. I am in Vancouver Canada.

If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate it.

    Sorry to hear that. Not sure what the exchange rate would be, or what the supply/demand is like in Vancouver, but down here in the bay area, CA, I've seen them listed from $100 to $300. I'm not sure what they end up selling for though.

    I see search results for speakers give results for this site all the time - maybe a good one to start with? http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/

    $100-150 USD depending on condition IMO.

    Thanks so much, folks, that gives me a good ballpark to work within.
    Hope things go hummingly in the upcoming election...we live in interesting times.
