You can use the blue book, and you can see prices on completed ebay listings.  I owned 803s, and kept track of the prices often.  I think you'll find the 803s (or 803S) are worth between 2500 and 3000, and the 804s are worth 1700 to 2200.  That's my estimate, which is worth about as much as you paid for my thoughts.  :-)

Original boxes and packaging are critical.  Truly good condition is also critical to get the best price, obviously.  Take a lot of pictures to document the condition.  Also, they are hard to ship, so take more pictures as you pack them to ship, so you have an accurate record of the condition before shipping.  

@lazarus_long
Items can only be rated in full point increments (10, 9, 8, etc.) on the Audiogon scale.

There are no partial point increments, so they can't, by definition, be rated at 9.5, 9.25, 9.375 etc. on the Audiogon scale.

Audiogon guidelines do not give a 9.5

@jperry,  I just checked out the audiogon grading guidelines. I do not see anything that claims used speakers cannot be 9.5/10 condition. I dont see a reason that used speakers couldnt be 9.5/10. Please explain. 

The S generation are 4 generations old.

dont even expect 50%.

No speaker is 10/10 unless they are new in box. I would say from my experience that most speakers are no better than 8/10 and the ones you mentioned first are 7/10 and the latter 8/10. I would not expect to recoup more than 50% of original list price. The B&W S models are at least a generation behind current models so 40% of list is more likely. 

I'll buy them all at $1.00 each!

@tobaccoleafpie  Have you tried looking the price up in our Bluebook, under your Explore Tab?  

Its Audiogon not pricegon,.

+1 for Hifishark.
B

Also, used speakers are not 9.5/10.0 by definition. Take a look at the Audiogon condition rating guide.

hifishark will have examples of both and what they are selling for!
