The average street price for new-in-box Grado SR headphones is usually a USD price equivalent to their model numbers.
Essentially, new SR60s are $60 more or less; new SR80s are $80 more or less; new SR225s are $225 more or less.
Not hard numbers or facts, but a general guideline.
Take that as you will.

Heya,
Why would you buy them, then ask if you got ripped off?
They go for $99 new, shipped. If you get them from headphones.com with a discount (15%), it's $75 shipped. You got it for a few bucks less even. Good for you.
You paid less than retail.
If used, they usually go around $60~65.
So if you got them used, you paid about the right amount. If you got them new, good for you, good price.
Very best,
Fake Grados?

Unless they are fakes, you did not get "ripped off"
