Author Topic: Price these components! Antonio Marcheselli Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1260 From: Florence, Italy Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-09-2003 06:20 PM                        Hi everyone! Let's suppose I have the chance to buy some JBL 4638 LF speaker, plus some JBL big horns (I believe with 2240 driver), few 8340 surrounds and a ARX cinema pro crossover. This equipment is in very good shape but has 10 years of life. What is in your opinion a right price (a piece for the time!). Thanks! bye A  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-09-2003 07:59 PM                     Antonio, The whole idea is to beat their price down as low as you can go and still haul all it out of there...... Just imagine that you are dealing with a tight wad French Canadian!! They're the worst on the planet to deal with..... That should make it all easier.

Anything wrong with the equiptment (even if it is still runnable) lowers the selling price. If its in perfect working order start your offer at 40%-50% off the original selling price...see if they bite and go up from there. Ebay is also pretty helpful to see what similar items are going for...try some searches and see if there is anything similar to what you are getting on there, at least that would be a way to compare...  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

I haven't been to Kbec for quite some time, maybe I should renew my passport and visit sometime.  |  IP: Logged
