Audio Technica Ath-m50 Deal?

I'm trying to buy a pair of ath-m50 for $100 or less since I saw some posts from a year ago on this forum about how they were selling for $80-90 dollars. Do you guys know any place that sells them that price, or somewhere that I could offer for that price? If not, what is a reasonable price to pay for these? Thanks.

I have never really listened to the ATH M50 but I know that they are great headphones, I would recommend that you get them for the lowest price possible but don"t expect to find any under 100$. I imagine that 150$ or less is an acceptable price, check on Headroom:

They haven't been under 100 for a long time.

 

Last year they were pretty solidly at 159 for a couple of months -

it seemed that everyone had the same price.

 

Now it's been bouncing around - 125 or so would be a reasonable price today,

though you might be able to shave some from that.

 

Recommend that you keep an eye on the pricing at Amazon and B&H.

Alright, that's what I thought. Do you guys think offering $100 for them to an ebay dealer be reasonable? Because I think soundprofessionals have had them at $110-120 recently.

I think $100.00 for those is a nice round number to throw at an eBay seller.

 

If they don't accept your offer, what's your downside?  None that I can see.

 

And the only way they can say "yes" is if you ask them...

Look at the ebay sellers feeback and what they bought. it shows you can offer 109 for an open box model which is fine.

If - if - you can buy brand new sealed phones from a reputable seller for 110,

(I have no idea if soundprofessionals is/are reputable having never heard of them) -

I wouldn't suggest offering 109 for an open box from a different seller.

I purchased the M50s from Sound Professionals and can recommend  it highly. Very good service, prompt delivery, and an excellent price.
