@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.
First question I would ask is 'original boxes and packing in perfect condition? Without that stuff, the speakers value drops another 15%... Beat up boxes for big items... still drop it 5% easily. If the op is in no hurry to sell, then listing them at 60% of list (with perfect boxes) would be my suggestion. And after 30 days no sale, drop to 50%. another month 40% Speakers are one of those things most folks do NOT want to ship a long distance. So usually fewer responses to ads anyway. Where I would buy a preamp from 1500 miles away, No way would I buy speakers at that distance. A plus is your speakers are common, that is also a minus. Plus because more folks interested, minus because more for sale. I agree looking up the prices of others for sale is possible.
