So I've been eyeballing some Hifiman RE 400i's for a while, thinking maybe I'll sell a couple pairs and get some planar wonderfulness, and just a few days ago I was poking around amazon.ca(I'm in Canada), and I see that they've gone down from $650 to $350, and the same thing on amazon.com- down to $250 from $500.
And I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on that. From going to Hifiman's store I can see they're selling refurbished 400i's for $229 USD, and I'm wondering if they released a bunch of refurbished units into the wild and people are flooding the market on Amazon by selling them as new.
I mean I bought some this morning, and when they arrive I might contact Hifiman directly and grill them about the history of the serial number; when was it sold, and where, etc.
But can anyone comment on why there would be a price drop? Seems there are several dozen sellers with the new low price.
Maybe I've been under a rock for a while...
