JBL L166 Horizons - How much?

I am the original owner (1976) of a pair of JBL L166 speakers. They have not been used for about 5 years and thought I would see if there is any interest in them from someone who like the 70's equipment.

They are in very good shape. Never abused.

My question is, what is a fair price to ask for a pair of these? How do people go about shipping since they are 55 lbs each and I don't have the original boxes?

Thanks for everyone's input.

I checked them out...I used to sell them back in the late 70's at Silo while I was in High School:) One of their best bookshelf models EVER!! Should be worth about $500 to someone. Why sell...they are great speakers, even by today's standards. Probably need to spend $2k or better to equal them now.

Ya figure it out silly...55lbs isn't much! Any shipping place can help pack them. Try selling local if you can. Old JBL? If they were K2 series or something maybe they would be worth selling...not sure about L166's though.

If in very good condition, up to $5-600. Average, $4-500. Poor, $300.
Packing is an art with speakers. There is lots of shipping damage. Sell them locally if you don't feel like you're an expert at it, or have a shipping store do it at buyer's expense.
