Info on jbl paragon


Hi, I have been talking with a guy who just got a 1963 jbl paragon. This guy does not know much about hi end audio stuff, neither do I, but I am learning. I am not going to see it untill first week of may. but he wants 3000.00 for it, all the info I have on it is that it is 11 feet long, He said it was in pretty rough shape. I have no idea if it is worth going to take a look at, the only reason I would buy it is to re-sell it. Is it worth 3000 if it is in rough shape? Do people spend money on just the speaker components inside? or does the cabinet make the value? any info would be great Thanks

People who buy this type of equipment generally only pay top dollar to people who know something about the equipment. Anybody can stumble across something valuable at an estate sale and think they can get the over priced asking price that they see on eBay. Not saying that this could never happen, but collectors tend to be discerning types and if they figure out you don't know the details of what you're selling they will probably look elsewhere or at best lowball you on the price.
