    Damn, nice price.
    Too bad they weren't still in Atlanta, I'd give them a run. I'm starting to think the Mirage are too big and might be looking to downsize.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    Trey, if you want to sell these now, maybe you shouldn't tell people you're gonna sweeten the pot even further in a few days. . . cuz then they're gonna wait till you're practically giving them away for free before jumping at 'em.

    Maybe try something a bit more aggressive, like "if these aren't sold in the next 48 hours, I'm gonna put them up on Agon for $800 where they'll sell in 30 minutes. And if they're not sold by Sunday, I'm going to set them on fire."

    Great speakers, though. You're very generous to offer them at this price. Going any lower would truly be insanity.

    Actually --

    If they arn't sold for 450 by the end of the night, I actually am putting them on Agon for $600.00 and the discount for Polkies will be 550...

    I'm trying to help a Polkie out and trying to move these quick so my Mom dosnt get mad having them in the den...

    And if this is how people are perceiving it -- then they truly deserve to be put on Agon

    Put them Audiogon already, spend $6, sell them. Simple, easy.

    I can speak from experience regarding this phenomenon. When Russman lists something good locally, I try to wait as long as possible before putting in my dibs. Basically, after it seems he can't possibly go any lower on price. . . he'll offer one final discount. . . then I jump on it :)

    MUAHAHAHAHAHA.

    Well Ill put it this way

    For 450 bucks - this is a steal
    At 600 dollars - it is a steal
    At 800 dollars - it is a steal

    These speakers are right up there with the LSi series with more detail than the LSi series --

    The bass response of a PC Ultra

    And the clarity of a far more expensive speaker

    These are worth driving some distance for..

    Dude, it's not a formal rule, but one or two bumps, a price reduction or two - then let some other people have the top post in the flea market. After a couple of bumps, no one is interested.

    Revisit in a month, sure - or just list it publically and get it done. There is little worse than the desperate flea market thread that won't die with dignity.

    haha --

    Was talking to Audiobliss earlier --

    I think itd be pretty nifty to disconnect the woofers from the crossover ---

    Reroute the cables to a seperate terminal and just use them as subwoofers... thatd be sweet.

    Would basically be an upright, smaller set of larger subs --

    Thatd be nifty...

    Use them as the "stands" to surround speakers (monitor or tower) in a future setup and use them for surround channel bass response...

    Yeah, I think I'm going to hold off on selling these for a while...

    I think I'll find a cheap 2 ch receiver at goodwill or something and let my Mom use them to watch TV at low volumes or something...

    Maybe I'll set them up outside in the garage and have an incredible garage rig...

    I will find a use for them... some way or another...

    Thanks for participating - and this thread can die now...
