So I sold my Stax Sigma for 565.00 to an individual who has been banned from here on numerous occasions  and he is now selling them at ebay for 1399.00.
He is even using my pictures!
This is my for sale post:

and this is his at ebay:

I realize everybody wants to make a buck, but this guy has no shame. Only thing I can do is expose him for what he is.
So you know not to deal with him, he is from El Cerrito, CA. 
I have talked to Currawong about this lowlife.

Wow, what an ass. I had been looking at those for a while, wondering who would be suckered in. Never thought that the seller would be from here.

Apologize if I missed it; what is the ballpark cost on such a mod, or was this a one-off thing?

I had the LCD-2 previously and now the modest 007/717 rig... I can't say I miss the LCD-2's in the bass area. 007's hit hard/extend more than well enough.  What I do miss about the LCD-2 sometimes is their more intimate in-your face mids/vocals that can be very good for some materials sometimes to my ears.  007's are without a doubt excellent in midrange/vocal presentation as well but it's done in a different way (more air and transparency but more backed off than the LCD-2s).
 
One day when I can easily afford it I'll buy the LCD-2's again, they're great headphones as well with it's own character. Not in a hurry to though and I know 007's would still get 80% of my head time anyway.

The modest 007/717 rig? I know it's all relative, but...

Thats wiktor.  He is a professional flipper.
 
Gilency's guy is nkkuma.  He sells Yamahas for $2500 and headphones that he gets for free out of goodwill for thousands.  
 
They are both examples of why the summit-fi/vintage market is so perilous right now.

I feel you, I sold my kgss+O2 for that reason. I like a more direct, intimate sound and perhaps less airy. I actually prefer the ESP 950 to the O2mkI.

He's at it again:

$1100 for a pair of used RS-1s that should go for $450-475 IMO.
