Does the age of a speaker matter when selling if the model is still current?


Hi All,
I hope it's okay to ask this question here. if not, let me know and I'll delete this post.
My hubby passed away a year ago in January & I'm trying to sell his audio equipment. I won't ask you specific pricing questions as I know there's a Blue Book section for that. But maybe you can help with a general question?
I have someone who asked me when my hubby's B&W 685 Bookshelf speakers were purchased--which was in 2009.. Even though this model is still being made should the fact that these are so old affect my price? The condition of this set is excellent with no dings or scratches to them and no snags in the grills.  (My hubby really babied his electronics. These were hooked up to his system & he was using these up until he passed away.) Thanks-

First of all, I am sorry for your loss. The answer to your question is yes & no. These are good speakers and will last for decades if treated right. In good to excellent condition, I would think you could get at least 1/2 of what they where new.
