Altec Lancing 890c Speakers

[Cosmic Pro]

good evening everyone! Can anyone tell me what is a fair price for a pair of Altec Lancing 890c speakers in very good condition? I have a line a pair and they're asking $260 US... thanks for the feedback.

300-350 is not out of line. I'd call 260 a GOOD price.

Prices have come down a bit in the past few years, so I would offer $200-$225 if possible. Nice alnico woofers, but the horn in the 890a is more desirable.

260$ is good. I would offer 200-225$ as well

I am reminded of Mr Brennan's quote regarding nickels and manhole covers.

Nice alnico woofers,

The best and final version of the 406.

but the horn in the 890a is more desirable.

That depends on the preferences of the beerholder. If i were buying Bolero's to use for an indefinite amount of time, the last thing i'd want in them is a tweeter that is notoriously fragile, and no longer supported in any corner of the planet.

I had to ask Tom what that quote was. LOL

It's a classic i'll forget no time soon.
