Apologize for such a basic question, but I haven't dealt w/speaker related purchases (i.e. - fair market value pricing) for the last 16 years. Because real estate is pricey in the area I live, my Monitor 10B's are just too huge for my little place. I'm the original owner and they are in excellent condition, undamaged throughout their existence, so I hope someone is able to offer their expertise as to what a fair market value price I should set for them? Thanks for sharing the expertise...

    Do you have any original equipment? Original boxes, packaging, manuals or factory speaker stands?
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    The boxes were unfortunately water damaged during storage when I found out the hard way that the New England house I lived in came complete with wet basement :-(. The styrofoam packing was surprisingly unscathed, but they are tired after several moves under their belt (I still have them). I also have the original Instruction Manual with the Monitor Reference Series Loudspeaker family photo, as well as the original black speaker stands that are in similarly excellent condition. The one obvious blemish is that the Polk Audio logo on the grill is loose and therefore able to rotate, which I elected not to glue so as not to damage the grill itself. The main challenge for me in setting a fair market value for these to sell is that they are 6 ohm speakers, which I suspect the average Joe may not fully appreciate when introducing them into their home audio environment. Any thoughts on valuation? Thanks.
