Value of the B & W speakers

[Boone38]

I had a pair of 805S and sold them for what I think was too low. I am now in the market for a pair of 804s. Have been watching audiogon and here everyday. I have seen them listed for the N series anywhere from 2200-2900.00 for the same years and finish and what seems to be the same conditon.

I understand that a seller wants the most they can obtain. I tried to look at the audiogon Blue Book by they want $49.99/yr for a subscription that I might use only a few times.

Outside watching the ads and selling costs. How does one know if they are getting a good (fair) deal? Are there any free sites to look at for audio values?

Will be looking for a good amp and pre/pros soon as well. Will be in the same delima.

Thanks

From what I have seen a used pair of 805S's bring about 1800-2000 in perfect condition. The 804 non "s" model seems to bring around $2200-$2500 in good condition and the 804 "S" model brings about $2900-$3200. Thats just my observations.
