I decided to sell my 40 year-old vintage KEF 104 a/b speakers as I ordered the Buchardt A500 system. I advertised the KEFs on the local Craigslist priced at $150 for the pair. Within two hours I was flooded with interested buyers from as far away as 50 miles.
I connected them so the buyer could audition them before accepting them and was shocked by how good they sounded. They have a nicer bass response than my KEF LS-50s! Now I’m not sure I want to sell them. At least not for $150.
Did I significantly underprice them? The speaker cones are in good shape and the cabinets are in near showroom condition. But they are 40 years old and can’t possibly sound as good as new, modern speakers. So why are all of these people going ga ga over them?
