Small fortune there.

Any AK'ers sporting them?

While highly collectable I don't think that price will ever fly.

Yeah i was thiking the same thing... I love AR...but that money could buy a lot of cool gear. But to each his own...i'm watching it to see how it pans out.

I sold a pair of Altec 755B drivers about a month ago for that price in ebay.

I didn't see your post...so I wasn't the only one thinking that was a lot.

I like the post that said 300 bucks for the sound and 3500 bucks for bragging rights.

When I went to hit the watch button I hit the BIN button....I almost crapped my pants.

WTF - I did not have a clue that AR's would be worth that price ! I am stunned

They're not so much as the Altec 755A's within are.

I have seen this high of price for Tannoy, Altec, and bigger furniture type speakers....but I was stunned as well.

I think its crazy when Ar-3's go for a grand and over.

or a no sale.

 

[MeatInStereo]

lets take a bet...if there is a snipe...you pay me 3,400 bucks! (logging into Esnipe ...)

No sale. As I stated in the other thread, the seller stood a chance of actually getting that price if he were to offer overseas shipping.

I have never sold anything on Eaby...I would be afraid to do the oversea's thing...but as long as they pay with paypal you should be good...right?

 

[spartanmanor]

I have sold overseas and so far so good. Never anything in this dollar amount.

IMO, the seller is not realistic on the price and that's why they didn't sell. A mint set of Altec 755A's sold a week ago for $3100. Unless the overseas buyer is a hardcore AR or audio history fan, the AR1's have little appeal. This is before factoring in staggering shipping costs.

If I am dropping $3K...Its going to have 2 sets of speakers for A and B, an amp, a passive filter with two subs and a CD player...and a $500 buck recliner to sit in and listern to them in with a mini fringe (100 bucks) stocked with Great Lakes (14 bucks)!
