Billy, will you please not bid on the headphones if you don't intend to purchase them.

Todd can complain about the HF-1 auction when he comes here at the end of the month

I wish you guys luck!
Cause as usual these special Grado auctions are advertised on head-Fi, which tend to drive the price even higher...

Didn't I already say this guy was trolling?

Ebay ads generally run 4-6 days. If you're in the market for any of those headphones and havent' checked ebay within that time, you aren't really looking for it.

Make sure they provide a mirror so you can watch the procedure, quite entertaining

Why shouldn't threads like this be posted?

You should THANK him. Since it gives head-fi members a chance to bid on great headphones which they might not have known about.

This whole exclusive used market is complete crap. People want to keep the market artificially high when they selling, but complain when they have competition to buy a item.

DEAL WITH IT!

I don't see what the problem is with giving a heads up. If it jacks up the prices, then so be it...its supply and demand. Stop being pissed off about "not getting a deal" and put your money where your mouth is if you want them that bad.

As a bidder who has won a fairly sought after pair of 'phones - I resent these gratuitous intrusions on the bidding process and sincerely wish such threads would result repercussions for the o.p.'s on Head-Fi.

Pardon the naive question-- if ebay sellers are for coveted headphones like these are more often than not members of the headfi community, why don't seekers post WTB ads?
