Would some 80's Realistic Mach 5000 which i've been told were sold here in Canada for $750 when new be worth $300 that he's asking for now?They are said to be in mint condition!Thanks...Rick:scratch2:.....P/S Pics are under MACH 5000 post!

I think some one is jerking your chain on what they sold for. I think $300 is almost double, what you should be paying. Plus if RS, Canada is anything like RS, US. Even at $750 list, they went on sale once a year for half price. So thats $375 new. I still would not think they listed for that.

I can't get to radioshackcatalogs.com right now, but I'd say Mach 2's listed at around $250 each, IIRC (depends on the year sold). I have no idea about the Mach 5000's, but I thought they were similar to the Mach 2's. Live_Wire had a pair, I believe, maybe he will chime in.

I have never heard a pair of 5000's, but if you really want them, offer $200. If they are anything like any of the other Mach's, I'd say they'd easily be worth $200 mint. You wonind find anything made today that will sound as good at that price, assuming surrounds and caps are in good shape.

A pair of Mach 3's just sold on eBay a while back for over $200, and that was not including shipping. Mach 2's seem to be more popular there, so you could reference them for pricing.
