  It's from the eBay valet service. Someone is having eBay make the sale for them. I don't see an option anywhere to contact them.

Look under "more actions" and you should say "contact seller".

Alright I submitted a few questions. I'll let you guys know what they say. I'm not determined to buy, but they appear to be from the late 90s or very early 2000s. You don't see a buttoned RS1 from that era go on sale anywhere nowadays. We'll see.

These are for sale in my local adds. They'tre labled as GS1000 with a custom box, but judging from the size of the cable, they look like they're from the ''i'' serie. He wants $450 in Monopoly....Oups sorry!, I mean, Canadian money.
 
I just sent a PM to the seller, but in the mean time, I'd like to know if you guys agree with me, that they look like they're from the ''i'' serie.

Are you thinking of buying these to go with your GS1000s?

Nope, I just type Grado in my local adds, and see what pops up. Who knows, maybe I'll stumble on another pair of cheap HP1000, or Bushmills-X.

 
I thought you knew, I recently sold my GS1000.
 
So, what do you think John, do they look like GS1000i to you too?

Its hard for me to tell from the photos, but maybe if you can get the serial # Grado can tell you what series they are. But, your right, it does look like an 8 conductor cable…as far as I can see.

They look like GS1000i, both due to cord thickness and due to the darker finish on the wood.  I can easily distinguish them from my GS1000es, but I must confess, I have never actually seen a GS1000 (non-i), so I feel a bit shaky on that.
 
Here is a picture of what purports to be a (non-i) GS1000.  Note that the wood is natural in color, rather than stained and lacquered as the GS1000i seems to be.  Note also that the posts are square (have to look closely) as is typical of older Grado wood headphones, rather than round as on the GS1000i.

If you happen to run across some GS1000i at a good price could you be so kind as to let me know pls.

 

[WilliamLeonhart]

450 CAD? I'd definitely go for it at that price.

if you don't end up buying them let me know. I'd make an offer.

I am in a strange place. I have several prestigious headphones which please me very much, am a classical music devotee, and yet am just listening to my Grados, one of which is the black sheep of the family. I am also thinking buying at least one other set of Grados. Am I sick? Is this a known condition?

 

[joseph69]

No your not sick, this is a known condition.

Maybe we should open up a Grado Owners Anonymous

So I bought a set of GH1's as a 30th birthday present for my brother. They arrived not too long ago. Yesterday I showed to them to my mom so she could see and hear them before they're sent off to Germany where he lives. Tears ran down her face. She was completely blown away, she honestly couldn't believe how good they sound.
