Resale value of new speakers

I had a house fire.  I lost a pair of excellent, Sound Lab speakers.  The insurance company has given me an allotment of 24,000 (replacement value) for another pair of speakers.  Given the fire, and current finances, I need that 24,000, but must first buy a new pair of speakers, and then sell them, to get the cash.  The insurance company will only reimburse what I pay out for a pair of speakers, up to 24,000, not give me the cash directly.  I plan to buy a pair, keep them in their original boxes, and then resell them.  My 2 questions are:
1. Where are the best places to post such an offer?
2. What speakers would you recommend, to purchase, that would bring in close to their original cost on resale?
Thanks!

I had a basement flood in my house a few years back. Fortunately non of my audio gear was damaged, but the property damage to walls and flooring was fairly bad. Our insurance company came in and estimated the damage to be in the 30K range. I was offered 2 choices. Have them send in a contractor to re-do the basement, or  have them cut me a cheque, and do the work myself. It was pretty straightforward for us.

BTW, I live in Canada, so regulations may be different here, than in the USA
