Title: AKG 568 short shotguns ??'s
Post by: ts on February 16, 2008, 03:16:51 PM: What are a pair worth. I have a friend who wants to sell.

The pair is in excellent condition. Includes boxes, windscreens and clips.

I will try to get pics.

Post by: F.O.Bean on February 16, 2008, 03:26:39 PM: if you have a pair of c568EB's, and want to sell them for around $400.00, I'll take them as soon as my tax return comes.

Thanks

Like many things AKG, the new c568b (~$650/ea retail) is not the same, and does not match up IMO to the older c568eb.

I assembled my pair last year for < $400 from two singles I grabbed off ebay. Having watched the 568eb for a while, they seem to sit on ebay and be relisted if over $300/ea. Under that, they usually go pretty quick. For a pair, $400-600 depending on condition seems the 'market' range.

When I get my pair back from sypder9 who has been borrowing them for a while, I may consider selling b/c I now have pretty easy access to borrow ck8 caps to run w/ my 452 or 460/a60 pairs.
