PM spritzer - he'd have the best idea I think (keeps an eye on the Japanese market as well). Last I looked at it I understood they could be anywhere from $3.5K+

The SR-Omega rarely come up for sale. And the prices for those few who show up varies a lot.
One Head-Fi'er scored a pair for ~$1600 (if I remember correctly) last year, while another pair switched owners two times for ~$3600.

They show up on eBay.de once in a while. Or try Yahoo! Japan...

Very few units are sold here in the west so a clear going price is hard to come by but the last few sets have sold for about 300k-400k Yen in Japan. You should be aware that there is something wrong with the driver design which causes them to fail and the only way to repair them is with SR-007 drivers. I have one set like that and love the sound but it slashes the value to bits...

Ive seen one for US$1,600

Audiogon and eBay are full of them these days. Something's happening.

There's only one pair of SR-Omega on ebay and audiogon, same crap seller. How do you say that there're "full of them"?

 

[freckling]

IIRC, I thought there were 2 listed on the 'gon

I would even dare to wager that the OP and that seller are one and the same.

Quite a few sets have been changing hands lately but given how stale the market was for years, that's understandable. After all there are at least 530 units out there...

Relatively, when a place has two SR-Omegas simultaneously, it's full of them

I didn't recognize they are being sold by the same person.

Besides the fact that the OP is 10 months old.
