I got mine for $250 (used albeit, but very lovingly so) here on head-fi.  Absolutely no regrets.
 
Where did you find this handy little graph?

$360 is good price. I got mine for $350 from Amazon during last Christmas sales. Once the sales is over, the price shot up (hovering around $450 to $500) and never came back down since then. With HD700 coming out soon, not sure whether the price will ever go down again. Below is the selling price history at Amazon. Website like camelcamelcamel.com track the selling price. If history repeat itself again, the selling price might go down again at the end of August.

Thanks for that brokenthumb.  I'll be sure to put this tool to good use on my next purchase (hopefully the Denon D7000s

So I picked up a pair of almost mint, two minor nicks I can find, HD650s from a reputable individual for $150 shipped and they arrived today. After thorough inspection I'm very impressed with my purchase but this part gave me pause.
 

 
Printed on the driver is 06.09.07 and then HD580 on the next line with Sennheiser stamped into the cone. Is this really the 650 driver or is it a 580 in a 650 shell?
 
I'm not without recourse, I can do a paypal dispute or a cc chargeback but I'd prefer it if I could verify first.

I have to say that the HD650 scales up incredibly well! Just bought a Violectric V200 to drive them and it has taken them to a much higher level of refinement.
 
 My bed side rig........... I have the Triad L3 hidden in there for IEMs, both the L3 and V200 is sourced by the iBasso DX100. All I/Cs and IEM cables are silver/gold hybrids with shielding.
 

 
I am using a high purity OCC copper cable now, as I am sending the silver plated cable to the States to a fellow Head fi er to try.......anyone in the States, interested in trying that cable just PM me and I will try and make arrangement.
 
Very happy with listening to the HD650 at the moment.......will be try out some high purity silver cables on them, and also a silver/gold hybrid like the black cables in the picture over the next couple of week. Just put the order through! This is so much fun

That seems really fishy for $150.
