Check out what somebody just paid for a pair of K240 Sextetts: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=200159738937

For reference, a mint / NOS pair usually goes for half that much.

The headband does not look that *new* to me...

 

[ueyteuor]

I think because it says that were not really used that much.. it probably got the people excited

 

[OverlordXenu]

Do people not check completed items anymore?

 

[Zorander]

And, I suppose, the presence of the original box/packaging too.

I like how the seller spelled it "Sextelt". I can't believe people are selling these. I wouldn't think of selling mine even for that much.

 

[rhythmdevils]

someone really wanted that pair. I drove the price up quite a bit

mua ha ha ha

I think someone read the recent thread about them, and decided they needed a pair now! its gotta be sweet to be one of those sellers who's just in the right place at the right time

I guess you don't believe in karma then.

It's all your fault. Now, I can't find a descent pair below $100.

dont get me wrong, i wanted them too. i just came to my senses before it was too late

 

[unkle11]

i was about to bid on those but at the final moments the price just skyrocketed above my budget

Depending on which edition of the sextett this is, this might not be such a bad deal if the headphones are really in "like new" condition. I own the mid and late editions; I think the middle edition is worth that kind of money.

This is what happen when head-fi rediscovers the wonders of certain vintage headphones. People start thinking they are worth more. And people are making claims that it sounds wonderful, doesn't help the market price.


I bet Fitz is hoarding a whole lot of vintage AKGs (even more than we believe he has) for the purpose of talking others into believe that they are worth alot more just so he can get flithy rich selling them.(I like vintage AKG but I find that thier prices are going up through the years since the rediscovery of good vintage AKG)

 

[JadeEast]

I was watching it but didn't bid as it went beyond what I was willing to pay. Interesting to see how high it did go for though.

I've noticed that this places makes everything you want very expensive. Mostly because you wouldn't have wanted them if it weren't for this place.
