There are a pair of RT600'shttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140168479647&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=004 on ebay that I want real bad but I don't want to pay to much for them. Which is a problem I have when I really want something. I have already checked a-gon and I think they said 300.00 was low but they never update there listings. Shipping would be 50.00 to my door. I was thinking 200.00 total would be the most I would pay. Does this sound about right or are they worth more:confused: Any advice would be appreciated.

    I sold a pair recently to a local Polkster for $175. They were in good condition with brand new tweeters.

    Good speakers if you can get a pair for $200.

    So 200.00 seems to be the mark. I am slowly putting together a home theater system and was wanting these for my rear surround. I think they will pair well with my RT800 mains.

    I believe they would pair really well. Yeah, just keep your eyes peeled.

    Maybe post a WTB ad in the flea market, check ebay / CL, etc.

    Good luck!

    I recently saw a pair of RTi8 sell on CL here in L.A. for just $125! I never saw them myself, but the pictures posted looked good. In case that helps.
    Alea jacta est!

    I noticed those too. I have my fingers crossed for you (15 minutes to go and $150 + $50 shipping). Are you redlineaudio or is that someone else?

    Still keeping my fingers crossed (which is tricky when you're trying to type at the same time). Good luck!
    Alea jacta est!

    Well, I'm guessing you are nikolas258, and that you "overpaid" by $2.50 with that clever bid placed in the final seconds! They looked like a great pair from the pix and description, from a careful home (but a bit dusty on the base!). Congratulations!
    Alea jacta est!

    I thought the same thing about there condition. There in a nice house and seem to be in great shape from what I can see in the pics. I got my RT800 mains on ebay, the guy had them listed wrong and you couldn't find them on ebay. Don't ask how I found them because i don't know. I just stumbled upon them and got them for 300.00 shipped. And they are very minty. :D

    Thanks for the support.;)
