So i constructed a list of average used headphones prices. This should be useful for those just entering the used gear market. Let me know if i have anything wrong on the list.

Where are you getting your prices? Just curious.

They are based on several factors. MSRP, market demand (whether they have been discontinued and/or in high demand), average second-hand prices on this forum, and average second-hand prices on Ebay.

PS. I'm working on a charted version that will examine the price trend since the headphone has been released (from new to use).

This might come in useful for quite a few head-fiers.

 

Most of the prices look reasonable. Good job.

The Grado SR225i's I've been seeing lately on the forums having been around $170ish. I would defienately buy them if they were $130 though!

The ones quoted are the SR225 not the SR225i.

Ah, gotcha. I thought the "i" was just assumed, as I thought the regular non-i ones were no longer made. lol.

I would include the i version prices for the Grado's since they would be more relevant.

The AD700 is not $100 used. It is $90 new. Also the Grados (if they are the "i" model) need to be corrected about $20 north. And it would be great if I could find Beyerdynamics for those prices!

 

But still this is a great list. Good job.

SR60i - $60
SR80i - $75
SR125i - $110
SR225i - $150

SR325i - $200

SR325is - $225

RS2i - $375

RS1i - $490

GS1000i - $700

 

Generally, I find that used prices for the most recent Grado models are about 75% of their original MSRP, to a certain extent. The extremes of the lineup (RS1, GS1000) don't seem to follow this rule.

Oops, didn't read mralexosborn's comment. His "$20 north" very accurately predicts my prices and makes my post somewhat moot.
