I heard people are buying them for 90$ and even lower.
The best deal i could find is in ebay for 103$ from authorized dealer. He does have best price guarantee so if i can find lower price he will match it(I also don't care buying from different seller if you can recommend one).
Where can i buy it for 90$ or lower?

i see them on ebay for 98.00 w/ free shipping all the time.  Thats pretty much the cheapest I see them for new.

$90 or lower?  Never seen it less than $96-$98.

Wait and buy used is your best option if you want to go much lower than what you have.  Overall, $103 is low enough off of the asking price that it wouldn't bother me to just take the plunge.  Are there fake M50s floating around?  If so, here is a very trustworthy shop for $110, it's the lowest reputable price I've found form a fairly quick search.  They've been in business since before the internet, when you used to order stuff from companies in the back of magazines.

Considering that minimum advertised price on them is $160 (aka, if you go somewhere like amazon, they will only be allowed to show you the price in cart), I'd be pretty happy at $110.  For $90, you're going to have to wait for specific deals and be ready to pounce.  For example, Beach Camera (one of B&H's main rivals, along with Adorama) recently had the ATH-ESW9 for $200.  But this isn't something you can really count on.  No one will be able to reliably say, "In 8 weeks, JR.com will be clearing out an excess inventory and will have an extra $20 off).  Just yesterday, AKG K518 were $50 on Amazon, and today they're $80.  You never know these things.
 
Cliffs notes: $90 is an unreasonable expectation to readily find these.  Either wait and lurk all of the available avenues, or accept the currently-available prices.

i just don't get the whole "fretting over $13".
if it was a potential $50 in savings, sure, go bargain hunting.
but, at some point the time spent hunting the $87 deal is worth more than the $13 i would save...
(not to mention the pitfalls of ordering from a potentially unscrupulous ebay seller.  um, no thanks.)
 
thats just my $.02.

A Head-Fier posted this link in the For Sale forums a while back, and I bought my m50 from them:
http://www.geartree.com/p-25437-audiathm50-audio-technica-ath-m50-closed-back-monit.aspx
$104.95, free s&h. I'm happy with the service -- they shipped using UPS.

I'm not going to wait until i see 90$ offer. I plan on buying from this seller:
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Audio-Technica-ATH-M50s-Headphones-ATH-M50-s-M50-/370419258626?pt=DJ_Gear_Lighting#ht_2878wt_911
He's top seller(with 99.9% positive feedbacks) and he's authorized AT dealer.
He wrote he will match up any lower offer and i remembered reading here about 90$ offer so i decided to ask
 
Oh and if you already reading this:
What will be better- coiled cable that will be stretched some times or straight cable that will be folded most of the time? Its probably doesn't matter but what will you choose ?

If they are $90 or under....i guess they are fakes. 

 

[MidgetT]

why would you assume that?  if they were fake theyd probably sell for way cheaper.  all of the MDR900 fakes sell for 25 bucks, which are what...200 dollar headphones?

But, they are under the MSRP...well that is just my 2 cents.

Well...i think they are pretty hard to find at $90. Unless you buy them used.

Considering that shipping is free, this is a good deal.

MSRP is meaningless.  The Sennheiser HD650 for example, have one of $650, whereas they sell for as low as $350 from authorized vendors.  Almost half off!
 
That being said, if you are finding M50 for less than $90, it's right to suspect something, especially from a non-authorized vendor.  Always remember, caveat emptor (buyer beware), and if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

lol....actually i was thinking on that, the price says everything. Specially coming from non authorized dealers.
