What are my Allison 6 worth?

Unread post by jimbob »

With an unplanned wedding in September and no money saved up for the wedding there is a possibility that I may have to sell my doc mod Allison 6s to raise a bit of money. Seen as I have no never seen another pair of these for sale I have no idea of their value. What do you guys think would be a fair price if I end up having to sell them?

Haha luckily for me my partner has the same outlook on life as me and isn't materialistic so we have decided on a simple woodland themed wedding. Even a simple wedding will not come without a little bit of expense and it has been very much a case of just deciding over weekend that we would get married in a few months with nothing in the way of planning and saving. It's a shame to have to sell them but they are just speakers at the end of the day and they can be replaced. I will have a think and put them on eBay this weekend if I get a chance.

Put them up on HFS as well; they're similar to a refurbished set of mk.1 Cubes - readers here will be more familiar with the concept and appreciative of what the Allison's can do.

That is your problem , your will not get what they are worth .

any collector will not be interested as they are modified and anybody else will not appreciate what good speakers they are , I doubt you would get more than £150 for them and it will cost you more than that to replace them . Keep them and sell something you do not need . As you are getting married you can sell your testicles :lol:

I could always buy a pair of NVA cubes after the wedding plus I do still have my project to get on with so I'm still staying faithful to the cube!
