    Geez!

    They're not even TL's? Not saying that'll justify the price but that's a damn lot :eek:

    Weren't you selling your 555 for like 325?

    Are those SRS's? If so they will never sell at that price. If they were 1.2TL's that would be more in line with what he's asking.

    I had the 555II which usually runs about $350-$375 but with the economy I've seen them go for $300-$325 and the original 555 runs about $300 and with the economy take about $30-$40 off.

    The pre amp averages about $150

    I spoke to the guy with the 1.2's yesterday... He said someone had offered him 2k for them 6 months ago after I told him the most they would be worth to me is 1300. I explained to him that prices are anywhere between 800.00 and about 2k for mint(as new). He felt that I was way off and that's that. It would be interesting to see who pays that price, but one thing is certain, and he ain't a Polkie.

    Yes, he has to be a Polkie. Read post #28. These are the ones sold by Polksda in 2007. Look at the pics.
    Asking price was $1900

    I asked him if he had heard of the forums and he seemed uninformed. He may very well be, but he is playing it down for whatever reason if that's the case. My eyes are shot, I cannot tell....

    Not sure if they are the same speakers, but it is definitely the same picture.
