Their going market price is what's messed up. What if the winner of that auction couldn't afford the normal price, and that was his/her dream headphone? I'd understand this point of view if the buyer had conned the seller out of it by persuading him into selling and not telling him anything about the headphone, but when someone goes to eBay and lists a price, this means he or she is actively seeking a sale at said price. Nothing about taking it constitutes immorality.

Jeff.h should buy it for $2500 like he said he would.

You missed my point totally.. I'm talking about head fiers sending the winner of the 55.00 phones emails about buying for 60.00-90.00..Knowing damn well they are worth tons more. If some head fiers want to deceive others to get a rare headphone thats on them. I know they wouldn't like it done to them. Noboy likes to be taken advantage of. Ofcourse this doesn't matter now, since Jeff told the seller they sell for 2,500, which they don't..& the guy that won them got screwed..

Oh, yeah. I totally missed your point. I had no idea that was going on in the first place. Didn't read the early part of the thread.

man, totally not cool.

looking at the new buy it now price, the seller backed out and relisted because of your message.

 

[Meyvn]

If it makes anyone feel any better, I sent the seller a far more detailed and honest description of the original pricing structure and the current market prices. They (guessing the seller and his wife) were quite nice about it and said they'd take it into consideration. This of course doesn't return the great deal to our poor original winner, but it does mean it'll probably be on the radar for serious HP1000 fans here at Head-Fi.

AYE!

 

[juzmister]

That is BS, 2.5k for an HP1000...I'm thinking he buys them, and then gives them away to make it up to the community

 

[awptickes]

Wow, that's really messed up. If I were the buyer, I'd be really mad.

I wonder what the reserve is.

I don't see this as deceitful at all. If the seller is too lazy to do a two-minute search on his product, then that's on him or her.

Maybe circuit city should turn everyone away by not allowing consumers to purchase one of their Dell computers because they know you can get it cheaper across the street at BestBuy. Maybe all the people planning on purchasing a new PS3 should give Sony an extra couple of hundred dollars because they're taking a loss on the unit and many individuals are more than willing to purchase it at double the price on Ebay.

Wow, what a turn of events! I'd imagine we won't hear from Jeff.h in a while...

And if you've noticed, Jeff.h hasn't made one post since then, cuz he knows he made a serious "boo boo"

I'm just jammin with my ipod and my super.fi 5 pro now, with the reverse mod [and I like both ways by the way, but the mod is more comfortable, doesn't quite reveal as much accuracy, but will give you a larger and wider soundstage if rotated a tiny bit upwards, and make it sound more like it is coming from in front of you and above instead of from inside your head or to the sides]. If you have a pair of Super.Fi 5 pros, play with them. I plan on playing around with my Triple.Fi's big time...... SO EXCITED!!!

But back to Jeff.h, you seriously need to apologize to the seller --- and maybe to the users here for causing such a seriously rapid posting spree out of anger.

With that said, I've commented enough on this thread... back to the good headphone stuffage...

"All I want for Xmas are my two front teeth and my Triple.Fi's..... but thankfully the triple.fi's will be arriving sooner, I have my two front teeth, and I'm Jewish"
