PS Audio XStream biwire, what are they worth?

I hope this is the right place, I've got a question about the value of some cables that came with a set of used speakers I picked up. They are the XStream biwire, 4.0m, pair of them. The guy said he spent $1700 new, which looks about right. I don't need massive cables and would like to know if they are worth selling or not.

If they are worth under $500, it probably isn't worth it for me to sell them.

Thanks guys.

Why don't you try them in your system? If they sound good you might want to keep them.

I love poker, but I hate high-priced cables. They never justify their performance per price and only designed to 'trim' your wallet size. There's never been anyany successfull blind A/B test vs. zip cord with anyone so selling them and getting cheaper wire will save you money and won't affect performance."

I don't necessarily agree with the first half of your post since its subjective. But if you don't hear a difference or see the value in a cable, you shouldn't buy it. It would be foolish. The 2nd half of your post I see differently. People that are on the objective side of the cable issue always calls for test's but they never do them. Given that, I don't take them seriously. If they want to see test results, why not so the test?
