Alright. Last week was horrible for my wallet. After paying the final shipping price for my D-626 and D-311, I put in a token bid on a pair of CD3000s starting at $200 with a max of $220.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ory=40137&rd=1

Seemed like that would probably be a good price (though some lucky buggers have gotten them cheaper). I then see Hajime's wonderful Maxed-Out Meta42 that he had for sale. Instinct takes over, and I buy it immediately. So I now find myself with almost no money.

All this time, I'm expecting I'll be outbid by someone else on the CD3000s. Someone quickly raised the bid up to $217.50, very close to my max bid. I sit back and let the week go by, all the while noticing that nobody's outbid me. I notice another few things along the way. 1) The seller has never sold anything on eBay before. 2) He only has 9 positive feedbacks. 3) He got a negative feedback a few days after I put in my bid.

Aw, f%$*. I win the auction, pay for the phones and never expect to see my money again. Lo and behond, I actually get them this afternoon, in great condition and perfectly playable...they may not even be fully broken in.

: These things are going to eat my head. Can't wait to hook them up to the Meta and D-626 or D-311. Oh my poor wallet. Still have to find some good interconnects...those Warmouths look good...

Anyone want some AKG 501s?

I must say, you are really making me jealous.

Yes, eBay is quite good. You got a better deal on yours, since yours seems to be almost new as you described it.

 

[strohmie]

Heh, psx, those last few pictures on your page are hilarious. That's about how I feel when I have them on my head. Gotta make myself a custom icon for these...

 

[andrzejpw]

Were these new?

 

[MERTON]

i'll give you $5 for the 501's. that's all i have

 

[strohmie]

No, they weren't new. The case is 99% new (it's rather easily scuffed), and the headphones have no noticable markings.

Merton, go mow some more lawns.

I wish I was still at UMD in CP I'd invite myself over and try them out

damn, I paid a bunch more than you and mine were very used. The pads were worn, there are markings on the leather headband and the case is probably 80% new.

i'm on vacation.. i'm sooooooo tired from mowing. :raspberry:

I still haven't fully verified that they sound like they're supposed to, but that will have to wait until after burn-in.

Time to change your sig!

I still think I have the best deal. $167 for mine.

Time to start using that avatar correctly, OriginalReaper

Yes, that is quite the impressive deal. I wanted to bid on the very auction you won, but decided against it just because of the condition of the pads. One's loss is another's gain though. ^_^
