Snewman01- Sorry for your loss. And sorry for the callous 'tude taken by others. No wonder this is a dying hobby. You can check eBay for closed sales to get some historic info on what they have sold for in the recent past. Audiogon also has a bluebook where you can buy a one time or short term access and you may also get some historic data. Those sources will only get you in the ballpark. Dill gave some good ideas on ways to verify condition. Also provide pictures of the drivers and crossovers, along with any serial numbers or other identifying marks on the drivers for when you post your ad.
JBL Paragons
Hello... new user on Audiogon here.
My father passed away recently, and in his estate left JBL Paragon speakers which will have to be sold to cover funeral and other final expenses. I'm looking for ideas/suggestions as to the best place to sell them, and pricing. There's eBay of course, but their final value fees and paypal fees take a pretty big bite. There are some currently listed on there at $30,000 and $27,000, and some apparently just sold for $29,800.
Now, the question you're all asking is-- how do they sound?? Do they live up to the hype, the legend and all that. And the answer is... I don't know! I've purposely avoided turning them on because they absolutely have to be sold and I don't want to risk getting attached. I might listen in while a potential buyer auditions them, just so I can say I've had that experience.
Anyway, thanks for any help/suggestions. I hope I'm not violating any posting rules-- I just registered and I didn't have time to browse through any other threads. Is there a way to post pictures on these forums?
Many thanks,
Steve
