Is it worth trying to sell the factory stereo & speakers?

dnwarwas · 10-14-2012, 06:57 PM

Just swapped out the factory stereo and speakers. I was just wondering if there is anyone out there even interested in purchasing these items. Is it worth the trouble of trying to sell them? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

They wouldn't be worth much to me - if I ever need to replace mine, I probably won't go with OEM. The stock speakers are pretty good, but they don't look very rugged to me. YMMV

Thanks for the advice!

They are just sitting in the garage for now. I don't know if I should keep them (just in case, but I hate being a "pack rat"), throw them away, or try to sell them for something. However, if it is not even worth selling I guess I can just chunk them.

Just put them on CL or the classifieds here even if you get 50 a pop or so out of them its better than throwing em out.

It's not worth it IMO. Just keep them around for if/when you plan on selling your car so you can revert to stock to minimize your losses.

And just what would you do with a used aftermarket system when you do sell?

Pretty easy to sell aftermarket if you have good components.

Wow! I had no idea they would be worth that much. I would have guessed $20-25 for the pair, at most.

I'd either put it in my next ride, or sell it...aftermarket is worth more selling separate than included with a vehicle.

Thanks for the opinions. I guess I'll just leave in the the garage "just in case"

I had good luck selling OE stereo parts on ebay in the past. Usually get more for 'em there than on the forums (even after fees/shipping).

Save them for some one else who needs to go stock and failed to save theirs.
