Don't get too carried away with yourself, SkinnyBoy. As you get older, you will find that things are not always what they seem.
For all you know, the winning bidder might be an interior decorator or some A/V guy who has a customer who is dying to get a set of those Bose speakers because they had them once and got rid of them, etc.
He might tack on a couple of thousand onto his bill for his efforts in locating these "valuable commodities".
Sometimes people want what they want, and they are willing to pay for it. Technical specs have nothing to do with it.

WOW.... they went for $460..... I just HAVE to email the guy and ask why he is willing to pay that much..... common... there are brand new bookshelf speakers on ebay for about $170 why would you pay $460 for secondhand, ugly, and overrated speakers?? oh well.. lol

You know, SkinnyBoy, it might be a learning experience to do just that. Remember, though, you increase your chances of getting a truthful answer if you simply ask the fellow why he spent AUS$460, (US$305) for a set of older speakers, since new ones are available at much less.
My guess is that the fellow thinks they will become "collector's items", in which case I think he will be disappointed. Or he might have remembered a setup he had with them years ago which he thought sounded great and he just wanted to re-create it.
US$305 is not that much for an impulse or sentimental purchase.
Be polite, and you increase your chances of others acting politely and truthfully. No guarantees, of course.
Actually, now you have me a little bit curious.
I dont know why, but I desire this can so much.
another Stup-bid bid
yummy
