So I already put yhis post up but it disappeared.

I have a pair of RT400's and wanted to see what kind of value they might have in the used market.

    This is not my pair.

    Does anyone feel this is a fair price for these?

    OP, don't get your hopes up. You'll never get $700 for your RT400's. $100 if you're lucky. I had a chance to buy a pair for $125 and I passed. There are simply better deals to be had.

    I have a pair lot RT 400 also. Really good sounding speakers, but alas, they seem to be had from time to time for around $200. Hard to find a better speaker for that price though, if you haven't heard them and see a pair, givem a try!

    I have a pair already and they don't sound bad. I was just trying to see what these were worth to decide if it is worth selling them?
