Wanting to sell speakers but don’t know how to price them......

I am thinking of selling a pair of B&W 804S; either that or my 803S.

The 804S: one is pristine, the other has a small chip in the back and a small blemish where it was bumped. I’d rate them at 8/10.

The 803S: both are pristine.  Overall 9.5/10

I’ve looked online for comparable examples but could not find any. It is currently January 2019.

I’d appreciate any feedback. :D

No speaker is 10/10 unless they are new in box. I would say from my experience that most speakers are no better than 8/10 and the ones you mentioned first are 7/10 and the latter 8/10. I would not expect to recoup more than 50% of original list price. The B&W S models are at least a generation behind current models so 40% of list is more likely.

@jperry,  I just checked out the audiogon grading guidelines. I do not see anything that claims used speakers cannot be 9.5/10 condition. I dont see a reason that used speakers couldnt be 9.5/10. Please explain.

Audiogon guidelines do not give a 9.5
