Sorry I haven't update sooner. I did receive a timely and pleasant response from Axiom the second business day after I emailed, which is fantastic response time in anyone's book.
However I thought the trade-in price was pretty low, especially considering the speakers have been boxed up for 7 of the past 11 years and look/work like new. Still, I sort of understand this as they are 12 years old. A private sale would likely net me more money, especially if it's a local sale and I don't lose another $90 in shipping costs.
I will in all probability, just hold onto them and put the money saved towards recliners for the HT.
