Thinking of selling my Linn Isobariks
They just just don't get used at all these days.

Where would you suggest to advertise them >?
eBay?

Huge market for vintage hi if.

Friend of mine loves buying and selling it. Always on the lookout for quad and spendor stuff.

That said, they can deteriorate with time.

I would suggest via a forum.

I use Pinkfishmedia, but you need at least 50 posts on the forum to sell.

Selling on eBay is in my distant past, too much hassle, too expensive generally, and too many fraudsters.

Try 2ndhandhifi.co.uk - they bought my Alchemy amp with little fuss and an easy transaction - might not be the very best price though.

Put up some info on here with price, dimensions and pics and you might get a bite.

I've got 2 sets of Spendor BC1A s
As you say old speakers can deteriorate, always useful to give them some exercise every now and again :-)
