100+ Head-Fier
In my neighborhood today there was multiple garage sales going on, I visited every one of them. Most of them contained useless junk, until the last one I stumbled on. At this very garage sale I found a pair of AKG K1000's for sale for only $75! They were the originals with the wooden box (The red paint was little scratched up but that's okay), the owner did not know much about them except that they sounded pretty good to him. I thought that it would give me a chance to get into the hi-fi world that many head-fiers speak of. The problem: I did not have $75 dollars on me, I only had $50. Afraid that someone else might buy them I made a $50 offer for them, the owner said okay "Let me look them up online to make sure that is a fair price, I think they might not be worth what you are paying for them". That was the last thing I wanted to hear and I do not know why he would want to undercharge me, I wish I had $75 so I could have just bought them and not to have a chance that it would slip away. It ended up he looked the headphones up, and take a quess of what popped up on Google when he searched them

He looked at me and said, I can offer you these for $750. I said "10X the amount it was being sold for?" He told me on the headphone sight he found called head-fi that they have sold before for $1000. I said maybe that was a limited edition, hoping to catch a break. "Nope they are the same ones, just mine are serial number 383X."
I was just about to get a great deal, curse the head-fi F/S system. I was saddened that I wasn't able to get the deal, but maybe I wasn't meant to. I wouldn't be suprised to find those headphones soon for sale in the FS/FT part of these forums.
