    Maybe a little high, I got my 1Cs for that price. Ask for pics of cabinet and what happened that required the tweets and MW to be replaced. You will need to replace the other tweets to match.

    Sounds a little high for SDA1's. I've seen them go for less than that without the mismatched tweeters.

    Like thsmith said, keep in mind that you'd have to be replacing the other tweeters in there too. I'm not positive offhand how much the RDO's cost, but I believe they're somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 dollars each. Tack that onto the purchase price and it starts looking a little higher...
