    That is correct, should I be suspicious of that?

    He was asking $ 950, got him down to $750 because I was picking them up. I live in eastern Pa., he is in Ohio. Should be around 6 hours. I think for what I've seen that was a pretty good price.

    just be real careful in driving with them and put a bunch of padding under them, you don't want to throw a driver off axis.

    I've got 3 inch foam padding, I will lay them face down. We'll be on the road Sunday morning at 3:30 AM.

    Have a great road trip and enjoy the 2.3tl's.

    Amazing how thoughts about price can change around here. Last winter I offered my 2.3tl's for sale, at $800 with a full set of new RDO's installed. Some here insinuated that $800 was too much, and for all the talk, there was "some" interest from folks on this forum however in the end they were all kicking tires. :rolleyes: It took Ebay to get them sold and sell they did at $800.

    All life's experiences can be learned from. When and if I have to part with my current 1.2tls, I plan to bypass this forum entirely, and cut direct to the chase on Ebay.

    Face down might not be such a good idea; you might damage the tweeter domes. Put them on their back and you'll be fine.

    The FM has been dead for some time now. Last year though I remember it being VERY active. The problem is you're dealing with a VERY limited audience. More people know about eBay than the the forums here.

    That said, $800 seems reasonable, especially with the upgrades.
