I too will try not to be rude here but it is bad form to accuse someone of being a "flipper" when nothing could be further from the truth. I have owned these speakers since the day they were new. If your estimate (which I do appreciate) is accurate that means I've owned and used them for 38 years or thereabouts. Hardly a "flipper" by anyone's definition, I'd say. Unfortunately, I'm having to move into a much smaller home and won't have room for them in view of the other equipment I'll be taking with me. It occurred to me that since folks here are enthusiasts they might enjoy owning these speakers themselves or be able to guide me as I try to find them a good home at a fair price. So, as I mentioned earlier, if anyone knows of any resources other than eBay or craigslist for accomplishing this goal, I'd appreciate their letting me know. Again, many thanks in advance for any help that anyone may be able to offer here...
