I am not sure but I do not think you can buy a pair of new Rogers  11Ohm with less than HK$6K.  I am sure that you could make some money with it.  A lot of old speakers value went up a lot or you can say that it could hold the value.

Hi CHING:

if it is original 3/5a (nothing broken/replaced), whatever version, I think you can fetch at least US$1000.
I have seen some of them are really old and bad condition... but still holds good value.

if its decent condition, price goes up fast.  in HK$, I think you can sell your at maybe HK$10k.

these speakers are no longer available.  one pair damaged is one pair less.
the new ones does not sound the same. so people are willing to pay for good condition old speakers.

you also mentioned that you bought it new years ago.

if you have the original box, receipt, any paper / in the box.... well, people are willing to pay extra for a complete set !!

just check ebay and you'll see how crazy the market is for 3/5a...

well, I have no intention to sell either.  But knowing the market is good.
(you never know, sometimes, life throws you a curve ball... you might need some cash flow...)

also,  I started out with an 11 ohms one. and is slowly trading up.

when I'm free, I'll check ebay and see what's the current price.
also friends will tell me link sometimes.  when I see a good deal, I might bid it and try to get an extra pair in better condition.  Then sell the other pair with some profit and slowly trading up.

not actively searching in recent months since I'm very busy... but this is something I keep in mind.

I now have 2 pairs of rogers, both 15 ohms. serial# 1xxxx.

if I see a rosewood old version or gold badge, I am willing to pay to about US$2k.
(depends on when the auction ends, or the description of the auction... sometimes less people bid on it and you can get it for a decent price.)
then once the new one is in, I'll sell my old one....

C-hing...Very interesting.  Did you buy your 2 sets of Rogers brand new in Hong Kong?  My pair serial#0481xx and using KEF drivers B110 SP1228 6Ohm and KEF T27 crossovers.

不用開吹水帖啦！
3/5a 呢Ｄ舊speaker 係少數人玩意。
有呢個thread 已經０Ｋ啦！

我的3/5a全在美國買的 (on ebay).
香港天氣比較潮濕，3/5a 更難保養.容易發mo.
又有強國人抬價
所以香港價更加高
英國久不久也有3/5a 在ebay 出售.

LS3/5a的確很多Fans，就算升級以後都不捨賣掉，我有幾個朋友都將它放入書房又或睡房續前緣。
