Ship UPS Ground, shouldnt run more than $20-25

USPS is great for small/lightweight packages, but use the big boys for the larger packages.

Hmm...

Quick, how do I do that? Just schedule a pickup online? Never shipped with them before.

I never even considering selling the dead sub.

I just listed it as what it was ... somone locally had a need for the drivers out of it & paid me $20 for it... took 15 minutes of my time!

Only $20? For an entire set? Well maybe mine will go for more since I think the only thing wrong with them is the amp.

Nope... that was just for the dead sub... sold the sats by themselves for $35.
 
If i were you, I would go buy a cheapo 5.1 receiver and check if the speakers and subwoofer work.
Even though you stated that the auction is being sold without any guarantee, but people in Ebay are stupid.
They will still bitch when they find out the speakers and/or subwoofer doesn't work.
I don't think the little money you get from it is worth the troubles.
I would try craigslist and see if someone want to pick them up cheap.
You save the buyers $42 on shipping if you can find a local buyer, which means you can sell the speakers at a higher price.

I am positive the sub is fine and the speakers probably are, as well. But I'm not sure if I should just sell the satellites! Argh so aggravating! And I need to decide quick!

Drive to the UPS Customer Counter or any Office Depot and use their computers to print a label.
 
Try craigslist, it's free...... you'll be surpise the number of responses you will get.
When I was selling my notebook (albeit I was selling at a great price), I got 4-5 offers every day for a week.

Sigh I want to but I already have this auction up. I can't just cancel it.

Now I'm thinking I should've pitched the sub and just sold the five speakers. Would that have been smarter? I can still change everything about the auction if you think I should do that instead.

Doing now...

Actually only 4, that's all I can fit in my box. The center channel will be kept, and the sub and control pod tossed.

Farewell Klipsch! You were great!

Box restrictions.

Then get a bigger box and charge more. I think most people would want all 5 speakers. That way all they would need is a reciever and a sub (if they wanted).

Sigh I know. But I have so many of the right size for four and none of the right size for five. Would have to make a trip to Staples or something and buy one. Not very appealing considering I'll MAYBE get $30-some for these.

Reserve removed. They'll probably go for enough anyway, right?
