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

hmmmm.....

C'mon, guys, don't be mean

This subject has come up a few times before in the context of "how much should I pay for used Axioms ?". I think there was a loose consensus around 60% of the new price, starting lower or higher depending on which direction the haggling would be going.

For some reason the search page doesn't like me today.

I have this one. From that same guy. I bought it about a year ago. I put it out on the rare occasion when I have friends over for an Axiom demo.

I'd be surprised if it was actually licensed by Axiom.

I hope it isn't, because it's about the cheapest sign imaginable - cheap plastic backing with metallic vinyl stickers for the logo. No sort of coating or silkscreening. You could easily peel the stickers off if you wanted. Easily.

To be fair, he doesn't hide the fact that it's pvc plastic and vinyl stickers. I got about what I was expecting. The logo is accurate and it looks pretty good from across the room. For the ~$12 that I paid for it, it's ok. Any more though and I'd be disappointed.

I would have cheerfully paid Axiom for an 'official' one, but they don't make them.

Seconded. If you insist on a dollar figure, I'll throw out $800-$900.

As I sit here pondering the situation, that is the 'fairest' number I can come up with when trying to balance my thoughts from both a buyer and seller perspective. At the high end, as the price creeps above $1,000, I find myself thinking that as a buyer I'd rather just spend $1,400 on a new/outlet set from Axiom. At the low end, I'd consider anything less than $600 to be a 'steal' for the buyer. So splitting the difference, IMHO, $800-$900 is a 'fair' price.

Why doesn't axiom sell some high quality signs of their own for people to display in their theaters?

I don't like how he doesn't disclose that they are stickers, I almost picked up this one but I'll pass now. Thanks for the info Peter.

Sell the wife.

My wife is my speakers, and I only hear from her when I turn her on .

Yeah, but does she turn YOU on?

That's between me and my speakers
