I am trying to sell a pair of perfect condition Cherry 805 Speakers, and am wondering the best place to sell them. I have seen them sell on ebay for $1,900+, is that a realistic value?

I ended up selling my 805S for $2375 + $100 shipping.. took a while though but someone bit. I just noticed that modia.com has upped the price for the 805S (maybe because its a very popular speaker?) from $2500 for the pair that I paid to $2800!
But the htm4 someone picked those up locally for $1450.- Bottom

The new list is $2,800 for the 805S. The new list for the HTM4 is $1,500, and with the standard type discount, buy price new with warranty is about $1,350 plus tax. :roll:
As for the htm4 I only had them since late february 08' and with the original receipt as well.
Dont forget the guy saved on taxes as well and my local dealer at modia I noticed jacked up their 805S price up from $2500 to $2800 now and with a little discount and I'm saying very little with tax I paid easily $2500 for the pair. Apparently the person who bought my 805S told me he could only get the 805S brand new for little less than $2800. I noticed that my local dealer gives very very little discount.
I lucked out on the htm4 sale as the guy was eager for the black htm4 piece and since mine was pretty much brand new (he took a look at it) and confirmed with my original receipt he took the $1450 and not to mention the luck as modia was out of stock with the black ash in htm4 and he would have to wait a week or two.- Bottom

Yea but the sale of the 805S took a bout 2 weeks to sell. But the htm4 was pretty quick on craigslist.
Also when I bought the htm4 you know that plastic hole piece on the top right where the grill snaps on? That piece ripped off the first time I took the grill off and I had to exchange it 3 times to get one that was good.. I remember the modia people freaking out because of this.
Oh man I was sooo close in purchasing a pair of 803S from somebody locally just 1 and a half hours away for a even $4500. He told me that the modia store in austin tx let him go so he had to sell some of his stuff and he decided to sell the 803S which were only I believe 5-6 months old and I've talked to him on the phone as well, very very nice and cool guy. Very dedicated B&W user!
Anyway I was so close 2 times in going to meet him halfway to buy the pair off of him but I needed to sell some of my other toys and the 805S + the htm4 that's why I panicked so much as the guy had his 803S on ebay and time was running out... this is why I was going all crazy attacking the forums!! ;x(
Anyway.. I was suppose to meet him up but I called and told him that I couldnt make the deadline and he really wanted to sell me those pair and wanted it to go to a good home.. anyways all and all my financial situation came first.. but if I did have time to sell my other stuff + the 805S + htm4 then I could have made the 803S purchase and even a new rotel amp if I wanted to...
I feel bad for the guy as he only was able to sell it for $3995 + shipping. :cry:- Bottom

Originally posted by atchudyThanks, I am thinking about ebay, but the fees are pretty high. Does Audiogon have fees?
BTW they are regular 805's not the S ModelLast edited by speakerboy; 29 May 2008, 14:16 Thursday.- Bottom
