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

. But you're correct......I don't care. Besides, I need the money to get a vasectomy, you know they're gonna charge me double

I "intend" but then I forgot to "to" buy....

come on $500 rite now for the hp's..hell I will throw in one weekend of drinks for free!!!

hehe

I will even bring in guiness for you!

 

[krmathis]

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...

What was the HF-1? How good are they?

Didn't I already say this guy was trolling?

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

 

[LawnGnome]

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!

 

[Killercrush]

Always about Grado's... seriously, why ?! are they any good ?

The HP-2's look tempting... no thumb screws though.

Oh yeah, thanks Billy for those $500 - $750 bids.

 

[JLai]

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.

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?
