If you buy them used be sure you get them from a reputable company:

I usually use the internet classifieds.

The Audiogon site has a long list of used speakers. Because many are very large you might look for used speakers for sale within driving distance of your home. 1. It saves the shipping cost. 2. You get to see and hear them. 3. You get a chance to hear someone elses system. 4. You might make a new audiophile friend.
