Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Please help - what price to resell my old axioms

Freudian slip??? Its a shame this does not deal with copious amounts of cocaine or sleeping with my mother .

This thread is almost as funny as a buttered cat.

Good pick-up, RickF. Remind me not to play Balderdash with you.

Wow, that's an odd combination because the EP125 only goes about 4 Hz lower than the M50. I would suggest your friend offers a compromise to his wife to sell the subs only (and buy her a nice gift), and keep the rest of the speakers. It would take up much less real estate and the sound would be about the same.

If you would like to know badly enough, check out the used prices listed at Audiogon and if none are currently listed, you can pay $20 for their "blue book" list of prices that listed items have sold for.

Hmmm,
This thread inspired me to do an EBAY search on Axiom. I wonder if this guy selling Axiom Home Theater 'signs', actually stickers if you read the fine print, is licensed.

Sticker Dude

I came across that seller a while ago and was wondering the same thing. There's others here in Canada doing the same but they are signs.

HAHA, no, it really is for my friend. He has no idea about equipment or anything. He was just a 60 year old dude with cash (at the time) and needed help getting the best. I have my Axioms and in no way would ever sell mine! I put “my” in the title because you are only allowed a certain number of characters for the title. I felt it better explained in the thread itself, since there was not enough space for "my friends". Too funny though.

No, he can't trade down to a smaller size. His wife rules the roost and they have *Gulp* small Bose speakers hooked up now. I know, I know. His woofer may be the 175 or 350. It's been 4 years since we got them. He's an old work friend, I rarely see anymore, but is still really good friends with my father. The other friend is a friend from where I work now.

So, all that out of the way. These are both friends of mine. I don't want to screw either. I wish the owner of the speakers didn’t want me to price it. If we can’t list prices here, can anyone email me their thoughts (recommendations) on a price to tell him? I would greatly appreciate it. I feel this would be the fairest way to do this. You know, people who really know the worth. Bottom line, I really don’t know how to depreciate them.

Thank you in advance!

Your poor friend.

"Yes, honey. Whatever you say, honey."

I agree with PeterChenoweth. If he is trading in his speakers for a smaller model, he should trade his wife in for a smaller model too. Or since they went to a completely new model, as in get rid of the Axioms and in with the Bose, maybe he just needs a completely new wife too.

Bose over Axioms? He has to be crying inside.

On the plus side, maybe the new Axiom Accents will be a reasonable choice when they come out.

When buying used items, unless very recently(1yr old) purchased, I look to buy for about half of new value and then haggle from there.
