Item # 290212398859 on you know where...

Need new surrounds... otherwise they look alright. Provided I won the auction I would drive to Springfield, MO to pick them up.

What's a fair price on those? I don't think I can go much higher than $50 but I have a feeling someone will jack it up to $100.

(Obviously not my auction.)

Hey Matt, just so you know, since you're in D&S, you can just post the eBay link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290212398859

As you've said, those are New Advents. I'm not sure about the A4 designation, but the "bullnose" model of New Advents is one of the most popular because they're really great looking. While these could use a little clean up, they're actually in quite nice shape. That they need new surrounds may push the price down a bit, but I suspect a majority of people who are interested in bidding on Advents on the Bay know that a surround replacement is pretty straight-forward.

In short, those could go for less than $50, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. I found a pair of bull nose New Advents on Chicago CL for $70, but the seller knew he was giving me a great deal, he just wanted them to go to a home where they would be enjoyed.

Good luck!
 
I won the auction for about $110. More than I wanted to spend, and definitely more than my wife wanted me to spend. She is super mad but should get over it in a month or two, or three...

I promised her I would sell another pair to make room for them. I'm sure a lot of us do that. :thmbsp:

I hope $110 wasn't an unfair price. I'm looking forward to them. :music:
 
If you had waited and hit thrifts and trolled CL and gotten lucky, you could have eventually found another pair for cheaper, but $110 is an acceptable price in my mind. They look like they'll need a little bit of refinishing, but you will be thrilled with the sound. Enjoy!
 
$110 is actually quite a good price, considering recent history on e-bay, even if they do need foam. Especially if you can pick them up without paying for shipping. Congrats.
