For $162?!?

1 word:

Damnintalltohell.

Thanks for re-opening an old wound

(j/k) There was a thread about this a couple of months ago.

 

[chillysalsa]

Oh that lucky buyer, mr. 'headphile', can someone tell me why he also bought some 4 pairs of K340's???

 

[mulveling]

Haha, what's funny is the two dudes who only bid $160 and $111 on them.

Damn. I've already satisfied my hp1000 itch, but what kills me (besides the ridiculous price) is that these were supposedly "mint condition". They must be real nice to look at when pristine...

The auction was ended early by the seller.

 

[chillysalsa]

ahh... I missed that, I just saw 'reserve met' and had a fit.

I am ok now. I'm going to let myself believe that he sold them privately for $700 to avoid the eBay fees.

Yeah.. that's right. I think I will be able to sleep at night now. Yes...

Yeah, but why bother bidding such meager amounts on an hp1000 in the first place - unless you have no idea of their value (I'm not talking about the winner, who obviously knew the value and probably made a deal for a higher price). Such small bids had no chance of winning that item. Though, I guess the seller had no idea of their value either.

*shrug*

If nothing else, it's one way to keep track of items that you are interested in.

 

[chillysalsa]

Yeah, I often bid a small amount just to remind myself when I get outbid so that I can snipe the auction.

 

[Jahn]

yep old auction - Larry picked up a zinger of a buy it now there alright! Looking at the pic, it's probably a HP2/HP3 not a HP-1 as advertised since it has no switches. Not that anyone cares at that price lol!

 

[saturnine]

lol, I was one of the bidders. I'm pradafreek

There was no Buy it Now, and I was planning on spending around $500

 

[Usagi]

Man, I don't even want the HP's, yet I feel like I missed out on something!

I was going to bid as well.

Gotta love it when people go out of their way to talk sellers in to ending auctions early.

Oh...don't forget the amp as well chillysalsa.

There ain't no honor among snipers on Ebay 'nuff said, nor should it be expected. If you can do the end run behind the scenes heck go for it! On head-fi sale forums of course, there's a diff community and diff rules. But if I meet you on Ebay someday, and I REALLY want that spidey pez dispenser, I'm going to take no prisoners, and I'll expect you to do the same, sir!

They are HP-1's indeed and close enough to NOS I'm tickled pink. If someone was prepared to bid more than $1505 for this pristine pair, you would have won them had the auction ran all the way, since I had that amount as a proxy bid.

If you weren't going to bid more than me, rest easy knowing I paid the price. I wasn't about to lose them for anything less than a small fortune... Another NOS pair I paid the price for. These are both for my personal collection of NOS...
