I have a set of 5 Sony speakers (about 8 inch size) and a Sony sub woofer from my last home cinema system. I was thinking of selling them through my local paper (to enable the purchase of more dvds) but wanted to ask the forum's advice as to:

1 Do you think there would be a demand for them?

2 What type of price should I ask? (The original
home cinema system 4 years' ago cost £350
with the amp).

I think you can sell almost anything in private ads!

Are you selling only the speakers or the amp and speakers?

Look at the current Sony equivlilent and make a price based on that....

Seeing as new electronics have fallen in price, you won't get tons of cash secondhand,. but maybe something like £70 for the speakers or £150 with the amp...which compared to the purchase price it sounds cheap!

Yeah, I only wanted a rough idea. I will stick them in the newspaper and see what happens. Adverts are free (under £100) so it is no loss.

I know you mentioned this in another thread but I saw what you meant about the Panasonic tvs being a lot smaller in depth than Sonys. I saw a new Panasonic 36 inch yesterday and its depth was a lot less than the Sony's 32 inch. It looked really good too.

Yeah, my parents recently got a new Panasonic 32" Tau widescreen TV and it's not as deep and bulky as my little 28" Sony Wega widescreen! .... if you look inside (or thru the grills) on most tv's you'll see lots of emptiness inside. I suspect they cabinets are large and square for structural reasons during transit rather than for looking good (or bad)
