What are Crown C-8 speakers worth?

Hi, I'm a noob here!
I just scored some Crown C-8 speakers at a local thrift store for just $16!:tresbon:
I did a double-take when I saw the Crown logos. I hadn't known that they made speakers, but found some informative threads here at AK.
A big thank you to 70salesguy and others for great postings:

The C-8s are three-way speakers with 8 drivers in each box.
They seem to be in excellent shape with all original drivers and only a few minor scratches on the cabinets.
The grills are in good shape too with only a little bit of chrome flaking off one of the Crown badges.

To my cloth ears, they sound pretty good. I know they're rare, but that doesn't always mean something's worth a lot.
I live in Toronto, Canada (sorry 70salesguy!)
Any comments on what these 70's speaker would be worth? Thanks in advance!

These are rare speakers so not going to be lots of comments. I'd say give em a listen and let us know what you think while others get a chance to see this post. I'd guess the value would need to be determined between buyer and seller since they are not ubiquitous, but a c-note or so would be a fair place to start discussions up or down.

It is the bigger speakers with the electrostatic elements that should command higher pricing. Assuming the RTR panels work.
