I have 4, rt400's from polk, the large floor standing full range
variety and a matching center speaker, as well as a polk 100 watt 8"
sub woofer (from another system), which i was thinking of selling..

They are in very good shape, minor scratches, if any.. work
perfectly...

Some have said to try to shoot for 40-50% of original paid value.. if
that were the case, thats $100 per speaker at 50%.. or $400 just for
the rt400's.. adding some more for the center and sub..

Does $450 seem too high for this deal?

Curious on thoughts on this..

Thanks

You might go to Ebay and do a check on the history of sales for those
speakers. Also consider whether you allow tobacco smoking in the house, as
tobacco-free environments for equipment is a positive selling point.
