r/hometheater on Reddit: Are Bose speakers worth anything? What should I sell these five speakers and two pedestals?
August 25, 2025 - Yeah, I'm old. ... I think in this sub you won't get a great response but the Facebook marketplace where I live would eat them up. I'd sell them there, someone would be happy to have them. ... IMO these are an eBay item. Easily shipped and they’ll fetch something. Check the completed auctions for a rough estimate. They are a ubiquitous item there so you’ll get a lot of transactions to draw from. I’d also check the stands. Those look like legit bose stands.

Are 60s Vintage Bose worth nothing.
I keep seeing funky looking (in a good way) 60s modernist Bose speakers for sale everywhere. Usually for next to nothing (and no bids if on ebay). More on forum.polkaudio.com

They’re really worthless without the subwoofer module they connect to unless someone is replacing broken ones. More on reddit.com

Father in-law was going to throw out his old Bose system. Should I keep it and use it for my vinyl collection or is it more trouble than it's worth?
If it is free and better than what you have then hook it up! I'd at least want to hear what it has before selling it on ebay. More on reddit.com

Is my old Bose sound sound system worth anything? - Quora
Answer (1 of 5): Depends on how old and which one. I would grab any pair of Bose 901s I could find, Series 1–6. Just check to be sure (pry off the rear grill) that they do not have foam surrounds that are disintegrating. All speaker manufacturers had this problem with the earlier versions of the ...

February 17, 2018 - I know it's off topic and sacrilegious talking about Bose speakers but I'm just amazed what some older models of Bose speakers actually sell for on the auction site. Case in point, I was perusing Facebook marketplace and someone fairly close to me had some "Bose speakers for sale". Well, I'm not ...

Old Bose gear
Brian, sorry to say this, but unfortunately, a large portion of old PA gear is worth next to nothing, and Bose doesn't have much of a name in Pro Audio. They try however. Some ppl pay ridiculous amounts of money for old Bose 901 speakers. But they are poor misguided fools.

Are 60s Vintage Bose worth nothing. — Polk Audio Forum
June 22, 2009 - I never owned a set, but I have heard them. I do own a pair of 501's from the early 80's. They sounded better than the 3in drivers I had with my out-of-the-box AV DVD receiver, and where my first pair of premium speakers. I paid $25 dollars for them. And they are worth it.

Does My Old Bose Lifestyle System Have Any Value?
July 20, 2021 - With many of our clients upgrading their older Bose systems, we are often asked if the old system has any value. With the closing of the Bose stores, there are no trade-in programs available that we are aware of. Some customers have turned to E-Bay to sell their old equipment.

The Best Bose Speakers of All Time (1972 – 2023) | Starting to DJ
December 20, 2023 - I compared the 10.2’s to a couple of $4000 plus speakers, and the Bose blew them away. I owned the 501 Series IV, 401s, 601 Series III, 301 Series III, 901 Series IV and now have a set of Acoustimass 10 Series IV (for space reasons) but will never sell 10.2 Series II since they are the best floor-standing speaker we have ever own.

r/BudgetAudiophile on Reddit: Old Bose speakers with new receiver??
October 24, 2022 -

Looking for some guidance. I’m trying to put together a system for home theater and music.
I was looking at a Denon receiver at Best Buy And asked the tech if I could use 4 mini Bose speakers that I recovered from an old acoustimass 15 system.
He told me it could damage the receiver, and that Bose does not play nicely with other systems, it’s like trying to mix, Mac and PC.

Is there any truth to that? I know he’s trying to sell me on buying new speakers…

5 days ago - The purpose of the company was to develop speaker systems which used multiple speakers aimed at the surrounding walls to reflect the sound and replicate the sound of a concert hall. In 1966, the Bose 2201 was the first product sold by the company. It was an unusual design consisting of 22 speakers, with many of them facing away from the listener.
