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. 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

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?
