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

My friend has some Axioms they he got 4 years ago. His wife is making him sell them becuase she thinks they are too big. I have another friend who wants to buy them and we are tring to determine a fair price. What would you all charge for the following:

Speakers are 4 years old

2 M50 Front Towers
1 VP150 Center
1 EP125 Woofer

Wow, that's just wrong in every way.

sdmoel registered on 3/14/05 and *his friend's wife* is making *his friend* sell the 4 year old speakers ...

LOL

Well the correct answer would be to trade them IN for even bigger ones and lose the nagging wife.

That stuff from the factory outlet is $1,407. The price for four-year-old gear should be less than that.

But how much less depends on many other factors that none of us can help with. Condition of the speakers, the overall willingness to sell, the level of friendship, etc.

The 'correct' price is the price that the buyer and seller agree to. Nothing more, nothing less.

If you really need some sort of 'blue book value' for the speakers, about the only thing you can do is to search eBay or Craigslist. Though Axiom speakers are pretty hard to come across on the used market (which should tell you someting ). You may not find much to go on.

I agree with the others though. Perhaps your friend should tell his wife that he's thinking of trading her in on a smaller model too.

PS: Do tread carefully with this thread. Axiom is very tolerant when it comes to what we can discuss here. But one thing they really frown upon are 'for-sale ads'. I'm not saying that's happening here, but just a warning for where this might be headed.

Why does your topic say these are "my old Axioms" and the text say they belong to your "friend."

Hard to answer any better than just getting on the net and comparing speakers in the same price range. This is competition to Axiom (the "friend" wants Axioms!) so I agree with Peter that Axiom may not appreciate if these speakers become available at some point in this thread.

(Unless they are real cheap, them PM me!)
Just kidding...but seriously.

The price to sell your "friends" Axioms, is the price you can get for them. That should really be done by one's own investigating on a generalized audio forum or on one of the used audio sites.

Yeah I was wondering why the title said "my", but the post referenced a "friend"...
