edit: SOLD

I'm selling my RT800i tower speakers I bought when I was an intern about 6 years ago. They are MAPLE. I had them in my bedroom but I'm replacing them with a SurroundBar.

http://www.polkaudio.com/homeaudio/products/rt800i/

They are in really good condition. I'll ship them if you pay for shipping, otherwise pick them up (Baltimore).

Price: $200 for the pair, OBO.

    Shoot, for $200, I'll pick them up! However: I'll leave it open to those who need them though for a bit...
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Shipping to Houston wasn't bad - about $36.00. But, I will pass and concentrate on finding some LSi's.

    Great that's nice of you to wait for a more needy member ;) If no one grabs them by tomorrow they are yours.

    PM sent.

    If I grab these, i'll have a set of Black RT55i's to get rid of. I won't want to deal with packing and shipping, so local pickup would be the deal.

    Let's see how things pan out with these first.

    that's a great price for RT800i's.. and in maple. i've never seen the maple ones in person... very cool and great price.

    Yeah cambir (Cameron) has been looking for some for a while now.. but shipping may kill the deal. PM him though.

    Justin,

    You have just depreciated the market value of the RT800i's by at least 50%.
    I'm glad you aren't my next door neighbor. Location, location, location.

    If things go as planned, probably $175. I really don't want to be bothered with packing and shipping them, so it'll be a local thing. When I'm ready, I'll do an official post. Will be soon though.

    Well, let me think on it. I'll have to find some heavy duty boxes and packing materials. I'll post a regular WTS message, but will put you in line first. I'll get pics done up this weekend with a description. They are not perfect, just a few dings. The grills are in fine shape. For $175 + shipping (yeppers!), they're quite nice!

    I forgot to take pictures last night, little bit of a late night. I'll take pictures when I get home and post them. I think the color is a little lighter actually than the picture but I'll let you decide.

    Stopped by Justin's "Pimpin Crib" a little while ago and picked up the speakers. What a deal I scored! These are beautiful!

    Got to check out his nice LSi surround rig, CLEAN Surround bar install and nice in-kitchen-ceiling install.

    We had to arm wrestle over the $1.00 difference in price. I distracted him by saying there is a hot little stripper at the front door. That was just enough for me to score the victory!

    Thanks again Justin!
