:D

Anybody know the market value for a pair of ESS Heil AMT 1a's?
I need to put these up on Ebay so I can justify (to the wife) the purchase of one of ATCVenoms sale items.
Thank you very much in advance!

    The Bluebook is $120.00 for the bookshelf and $150.00 for the monitor.

    There's a couple of pairs on eBay right now - I'm sure the ones in the link below will likely fetch a lot more than the current bid of 200 bucks - they look very nice!

    Yep! Those are exactly like mine. The guys gonna eat it on shipping though. I bet it will cost him double that.
    I hadn't seen these yet but I saw the other pair that have a bid of $200 and are not even close to these. In fact the grills aren't even included.
    Those used prices surprise be though as these routinely go for up to $300 or more. On Ebay anyway.....maybe ebayers aren't too bright overall! ;)
    Thanks again, 'Nut!

    Drag,

    Orion has a funny way of listing prices on speakers. Sometimes they list the MRSP as per pair and then list the used price for a single speaker. Other times they list the MRSP as a single and then other times they list everything per pair.

    You have to read between the lines when using the service. The used price for your speakers is for a single, double that and you've got your $300.00 that you see on eBay.

    dragon, if you register/subscribe to Audiogon you can get access to their Audio Bluebook. http://cgim.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/bb.pl

    You can also do a history on eBay... Not always effective.

    Yep, it's $20.00 for 30 days or $50.00 for a year. It's not as extensive as Orion, but it's a good tool also.

    Yeah, I'm an expert at Ebay and internet sleuthing.
    Too cheap to subscribe though.....I'd rather sponge off of those that aren't :o

    You know, what's funny is that you can almost make out better by parting these out. I've seen the tweeters and x-overs go for as much or more than the entire speakers.
    Same for the vintage Marantz receivers if it's under a 2250.
