Question Second hand speakers

Hi guys!

I have some DLS R4 speakers which I used in my old car for 16 months. They are in good nick and still work very well. I paid £112 for them when they were new.

My friend wants to buy them off me but I have no experience on what the going rate is for second hand speakers. I've looked on ebay and other websites and no one is selling that type and I don't know what to compare my speakers to.

Can anyone tell me what would be a good selling price for my speakers? Or what other speakers I can compare them to on price? I was thinking £60 - £70 but he laughed at me and said it was too much and thought they were worth £50!

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Inga

I would have thought £50 is a fair price. Second hand speakers and subs don't hold their value that well compared to amps. I've sold a few on ebay and always been disappointed with the prices. I'd take what you can get especially if you don't need to advertise or ship them.

PM me some details by the way, I may be interested.

Bite his arm off, before he changes his mind and you have all the hassle of advertising!
