Topic: Band speakers

I have a set of Peavey FH-1 Mark III series speakers to sell and MF-1-X with R-835 Crossover for EV speakers about the same size.    I have been surfing with every keyword I know, to find sites to help me determine their value and I'm coming up with nothing.  I know they don't make them anymore.  They have an awesome output, but way too heavy for me now.  I'm not in a band anymore and they are taking up valuable real estate.   

Any help you can provide would be great.

Re: Band speakers

Check with Musicians Friend.  I believe they buy old equipment, or maybe they trade.

You can see all my video covers on [url]http://www.youtube.com/bensonp1000[/url]
I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Band speakers

Thanks Pete!   I'll check them out.   I also have a relative who is into this bigger stuff and I want to negotiate a fair price for both of us. 

This  will help, if I can find comparative prices to show how I arrived at my prices.

Re: Band speakers

Heya Gabby,

When I was doing alot of buying and trading, I always used around 1/2 of the whatever the street price was new as kind of a reference for used stuff.  Supply and demand has alot to do with it too.

I checked with musicians friend on what they would give me for a DR Rhythm and the offered me $ 50  and it is a current model. I sold it on ebay for $ 150  and it cost  $350 new. You may want to check with a music store, if you know of a good one and ask them what a fair price is.

Later, Wayne P

Re: Band speakers

Thanks wlbaye, I've been reading and researching.  They don't make these anymore and from what I'm gathering, they give out a great sound (I know that is true), but their main complaint is the awkwardness and heaviness of them.   Made for super strong people...

I have someone who wants them badly, and I want my space, so it will be a win/win.   I'm gonna hook them up today and make sure they work.  I have two sets of these and thought about keeping one for a dream I have of having a jam place.  They would fill a big barn with sound....lol
