Hi all, not trying to skirt the FS thread rules here. Looking for guidance on how to set a fair price for a pair of SVS PB13 Ultra subs about 6 years old in excellent shape. I have a friend that is interested in them and I want to make it a fair transaction for both of us.

    Friends ALWAYS get the best price/deal you can give them. ;)

    He might have something you'll be interested in buying in the future.

    I like the discount suggestions mentioned above.

    Also...Karma is real. ;)
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Agree somewhere around half original price may be considered fair. At six years old they may be out of warranty but SVS is good at fixing stuff. May be a reason to lower the price a little further below $1K a piece though.

    All depends on what the friend is thinking, but half off is in the range of decent.

    Here's an example of a PB-4000 that sold on Ebay as an auction recently for around half price near me in a large market area. That's similar in original price/performance to the older PB-13 Ultras...
