anyone know the BB (blue book. not Best Buy, lol) value on a pair of black RTi70's?

Cosmetically, these are in excellent condition. The grills are free of holes or snags and the cabinets are nearly perfect with only a thumbnail type scratch on top of one about 1/2" long and some minor rubbing on the top front edge of the other just behind the grill.

thanks

    Haha...was just looking at those on Ebay...

    I don't know BB prices, but they've been selling on Ebay for around $350 or so with shipping and everything...

    I didn't see how much he's going to charge for shipping, but the $299BIN is a bit above what they've been selling for if it doesn't include shipping...

    Sell them while you can... ;)

    Do not pick them up while you can. Especially if you plan on replacing your RT800i's with them dude...

    Just my big fat opinion. Thats all I'll say.

    I'm not bashing them. I'm just saying you will never get what you paid for them again. So if you seriously are thinking about selling them. SELL THEM. It's simple.

    I really don't understand buying a pair either, when you have the RT16, RT800, RT800i, RTi8 to choose from as well... *scratches noggin* - Did I mention the RT16? I thought so... lol *drool*

    These are only 30 miles away. so i wouldn't have to pay shipping. I already checked with the seller, he PREFERS local pickup... will also ship. I know they may not be highly thought of by some.. but it's also what gear you have driving them. they are Polk Audio speakers by the way.. how could they not sound good???

    I just miss having towers for fronts.

    My SRS's were going to be used as fronts.. but I now prefer them in a 2 ch rig only. So that basically leaves me without any fronts. and i'm partial to towers. Having owned 800i's before.. i pretty much know what to expect with the RTi70's. so we'll see

    (if someone here is already bidding on them.. i don't want to get into a bidding war.. i don't want them THAT bad. but since they are close.. i was interested is all.
