NOS/New boxes of the same model/design should all look the same anyway. Unless you meant you saw the same exact picture being used.

I think it was the same picture, I usually remember stuff like that.

Wow....That's nuts. I should definitely get on repairing mine.

LMAO if my name doesnt give it away, I weren't even born then.

Dont suppose you still have them lying around the place lol?

$75 in 1974 is probably worth a grand today?

MADNESS?

 

[riceboy]

Some crazy price on those Sextett..

 

[howlndog]

I agree - absolute madness… unless the buyer was buying the headphones for himself, and say the box (baggies, inserts, paperwork, etc.) as a gift for an audiophile / collector friend who is turning 50 next month… nope it’s still madness and probably not the most sensible idea this fellow has had… actually, now that the auction fever has lifted, it’s somewhat embarrassing

 

[GuyMe]

Aww that's sweet. I almost forgive you for outbidding me, but not really

Congrats!

 

[dazzer1975]

lol yeah, well its not madness, things are worth what people are prepared to pay, absolutely the bottom line.

I did just find a pair for 40 euros though, cant tell if they are mp or lp so I feel a bit better now lol

nope, traded them off before the big spike in interest and pricing

 

[kool bubba ice]

The Sextetts arem't worth 325.00? They give me more musical bliss then all my other headphones that cost much more.. I have a like NOS pair.. Funny.. Bid started at 100.00 & I won it for 101.00..
