here are some speakers for sale on my local c'list and the owners have no idea what model they are. can you help? I'd rather not set up an appointment to see them with no knowledge of what they are or what their value could be.
thanks in advance to all that help

    Possibly Monitor 5Bs? 80 dollars or less?

    That looks like a 5A to me. I would say $50 if in good condition. Near mint would be bit less than $80 imo.

    I believe they're 5A's. They have Peerless tweeters, which are the more desirable tweeters on the Monitor series.

    In good condition, they're worth anywhere from 50-120 dollars or so.

    If they've got the Peerless, I'd put them at closer to $100. Even without, in good condition, they're one of the better bookshelves that Polk ever made. I discount the Monitor 7's, because I'd put them at more of a floorstander than a bookshelf.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Those have the peerless as far as my eyes can tell. Worth $100 in good shape. You won't need to upgrade the tweeters in those. Just make sure the tweeters are working.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
