No love for Cube Audio speakers?

Thank you for your observations, encouragements, and taking the time to respond.  I live in CA and had a willing buyer in CO but the required palleted shipping would be over $1K so that ended that possible transaction.  I am an economist so I get that as there will be a price at which they will sell, but it frustrates me that such excellent speakers can't command even 50% of their retail price.  I am gonna take a bath on these, for sure, and it leads me to this conclusion:  I just bought a pair of used BMR Philharmonic Monitors for 80% of their retail value and was real happy to get them.  Yet, lesser-known gear gets short shrift in the after-market and given my love of switching gear around from time to time, it's now is something I will give more consideration to with future gear acquisitions.  I have bought dozens of pieces of audio gear, often used, and I have the distinction of getting a buttdart 100% of the time when I flip gear, and no situation will be more costly to me than with my Cube speakers. I shouldn't complain as I see gear for sale on this forum with far far deeper discounts that I thought imaginable.  It's a buyer's market.     

Steveymo, 

They are listed on the other forum where there is no cost to list gear.  ;-). 

Aewarren, you are correct with that statement.  There is a price at which they will sell and I certainly with join a vast group of audiophiles who experience buttdarts when they part with gear.  

I have transacted with TMR in the past on the buy side so I will certainly follow your suggestion and contact them.  The hell of it that is will cost me at least a grand to get them shipped there on pallets with their wood crates, heavy as coffins, but maybe they can help on the shipping end.  I see no alternative to local or regional sales.

I thank you all for responding with alternatives and encouragement.  As I note above, as I am inclined to swap gear from time to time and with future audio purchases, I will take into consideration the likelihood of my ability to recapture a larger share of the retail price when I got to sell.  Spending ~$9K on speakers less than 2 years ago with no ability to recover close to 50% of my original expense on pristine gear has been a real eye-opener for me and my pocketbook... I am not that affluent.  Cheers and thanks again for the comments.  Mark  

Oh, a final thought.  I have used Pirate Ship and Shippo to ship gear and they are routinely nearly half the price of direct shipping with FEDEX, UPS, and USPS.  I encourage you to see if they might be right for your shipping needs.  The retail cost of shipping queers a lot of potential transactions.  However, neither company will deal with gear like my speakers that can only be shipped on a pallet.
