Saw it on Ebay initially, has a "Best Offer" listing there, thought I'd post it here. None of these ever show up on my local CL :(

Seller has original boxes plus spare set of grills.

    675? That's a pretty high price for SDA1's. They tend to go for around 450-500 from what I've seen recently.

    Pictures are pretty bad too...

    If they are in good condition,, you might offer 450,, but 500 might not be a bad deal,depending on the condition,and availibility of the interconnect. Good luck.

    I saw it on e-bay initially, and there are more pics there: http://cgi.ebay.com/Polk-SDA1-SDA-1-Grand-Speakers-Excellent-With-Boxes_W0QQitemZ190288106935QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSpeakers_Subwoofers?hash=item190288106935&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 Pics are still taken with them in the box, though.

    The CL listings are limited in amount and size of the pics.

    It'd be nice to see someone in the club score them if they're minty like the seller says.

    They look to be in great shape but overpriced. I've seen them around me for $350-$450.
    I got mine for free.

    I paid a lot more than that for my 1Cs, but the original owner had already completed every upgrade in the book. (A very well respected forum member.) They are pristine and will never leave my possession.

    I can tell you for a fact the 1C's,or any other SDA's, NEVER come up for sale in the Midwest.

    I'd like to own these,but really don't need them,as all the normal upgrades would be in order...additional costs would make them pretty pricey.

    Well,Low and Behold...I now own a pair of 1C's...the owner accepted my offer and I have made the trip to pick them up.

    The cabs are near perfect,tops,bottoms and the drivers all look good...if it wasn't for an effin' cat they would be very close to mint.

    The "extra" grills the guy mentioned are two new side panels,not the main grills...one of the front grills will need to be recovered,I will more than likely do both while I'm at it.

    The wife is in bed sick at the moment,so I can't fire em' up yet.

    I'm glad to have another pair of 1C's back in the house,I sold my first pair about two years ago to a C.P. member,they are in good hands...but I have always regetted letting them go

    they seem to be in just ok condition as the side grills are starting to come off.

    That said, I am thrilled with my pair of 1c's... is there any way of knowing which ones these are?:)

    I did not see your post Mike until just now... congrats on the aquisition and upgrades or no, these are a very good speaker for the money and I too will not part with them!

    Yeah,That's what new side panels are for...I think that the seller might have had a new pair of front grills also,as I seem to remember a pair of 1C grills on e-bay not soo long ago.

    No big deal,I can recover them one day...the caps are PERFECT,that was my main concern.

    If I'm not mistaken, those were owned by the seller from whom I picked up conradicles 2b's from,, I saw them,, they were in perfect condition,no logo's,, he wanted 40 bucks for them,,probabally still has em',,I'll check if anyone is interested.
