    I think that is high. It depends on how much you want them. I would figure 800's-- 150.00 to 200.00, CSi40-- 150.00, and 25's--60.00. Of course, it also depends on the condition. They are nice speakers.

    Most people are looking for very good deals on Craigslist. Ebay will always get you more money, but then you have to pay fees and deal with shipping. Furthermore, its not the best time of the year to try and unload gear. Most people are recovering from heavy holiday spending, dealing with winter heating bills, and counting on that tax return to come in a couple months.

    It's not really too much, IMHO, but I would think it would be much easier to sell these as two separate pairs, and a single center, with the option to combine if desired (but three separate listings). My suggestion to move them within a reasonable time would be:

    - RT800i @ 150-175.
    - CSi40 @ 150-175.
    - RTi25 @ 100-125.

    The total would be $400-475. You could eventually get 200+200+125 if you're not in a hurry, which matches your $525, if they are in good condition, but I'd still think it's harder to sell them all together. Rock bottom for me would be 125+125+75 ($325). I agree with billbillw on e-Bay. If you have the original boxes, that would be a lot easier for safe shipping. I'd still sell them with three separate listings though.

    Those sell all the time on craigslist.com and e-Bay, so I'm sure you can determine a good price target for yourself if you watch other sales for a while. I have some very similar speakers I need to sell sometime in the near future, and I have the same dilemma (especially since I'd have to buy the boxes and packing for an e-Bay or Club Polk sale).
    Alea jacta est!
