Wad said he traded a GS-1000 with moon audio dragon-something cable that he claimed was worth $1475, + $650 cash. I told him his used trade + cash was worth maybe $1700 (or close to that). The going rate for HE60 has been about $1,800 with HEV70 if all is in good working order, ranging from $1,500 - $2,000 depending on the condition.
In my case, to get an HE60/HEV70 from Kees I paid $700 + traded an Edition 9 that Orkney sold me for $1300 when they were out of stock for 2 months (and because the S/N was sequential to my other pair). For that I got my HE60 and HEV70 plus the seller threw in new earpads, and then he generously paid almost the complete cost to have new drivers installed due to a channel imbalance and slow charge up. It cost me $412 after shipping both ways which also included a 110v PSU, but I got $340 of that from my wonderful seller.
Somehow I seriously doubt Wad would give that level of support to the buyer of his setup, nevertheless I submitted a $1,700 offer saying I wanted a spare setup - my intent was to pass it on to a head-fier and keep it in the family. You are "in the family" and if you can pick it up for a fair price and you can personally test it first, I'd be happy to see you have an HE60/HEV70 to enjoy.
