2. polk csi 3 center
3. a pair of fx 500i surrounds

5. crown michro tech 1200 center channel amp
All equipment is in excelent shape and has been pamperd. The csi3 and 5 are only a few months old. Asking $1000 for all.
Let me know if this is too much to ask for these am not a regular poster here just lurk alot and enjoy reading and learning.
Live in washington puyallup area and would rather not have to ship any of this. Actually as a preemptive; would prefer local come by and test out before you by kind of thing. Yep it all works. Yep its all in great shape......if you know what I mean.
Thanks guys

    ok dont scream at me but If I sell seperate I am asking $300 for the rt55s(pair) and $250 for the rears (pair). These have been run on seperate amps (not under powerd) and used very gently so if the price is high for what they normally run, and I do not know what they are going for because I cannot find any, its because I know these have been treated extremely well.
    Ok let the bashing begin:)

    Am selling to finance for an upgraded speaker system. Love these speakers but feel the need to move up in the food chain.

    james no problemo friend. i was just curious more than anything.. i'd like to own a pair of RT55i's some time.. the RTi series holds a place my heart.. the FX/500i's would be an upgrade to my FX/300i's.

    I was just on a fishing trip more than anything with my questions.

    No prob. Have you tried to sell yours on craigs list? Stuff really sells quick on that site. Could do this to finance the upgrade. Just a thought.
    If these prices are not the norm please let me know. Have read some narly bashing on this site by folks trying to post stuff for sale. Am coming in with a humble attitude and not sure if my pricing is fair for the going rate for these speakers.

    Your prices aren't "steals" but they are probably a fair "asking price". You should be able to easily sell those Maple RT55is. You don't see them very often.

    Thanks for the reply shack. I do not like seeing people selling things go for more than they are worth myself and was hoping I was at least in the ball park.
    Thanks again.

    James,
    Are the RT55i in Cherry or Maple? The pics look like cherry, but I was wondering after Shack's comment above.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    James, No worries, you posted a nice ad with all the info needed and your prices seem fair enough. Good luck with your sale.
