The Deals DISCUSSION Thread (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)
Jul 21, 2014 at 2:44 PM Post #6,273 of 35,373
Can we post from our own classifieds? There's a Sennheiser HD700 for sale there, freshly returned from Sennheiser to fix a driver issue. The cans look to be in perfect condition, but they don't have the outer box, just the case they came in. The guy is selling them for $575 shipped to CONUS. Sounds like a good deal to me. Here's the link:

I'd assume posting your own deals, considering we have an entire section for sales, is probably not a great idea.

That's what I was thinking.. This isn't one of mine though. Just thought it was a pretty good deal on something that now is pretty much like new.

Yeah. If that became a standard practice, it would flood this thread and make it unusable for keeping track of offsite deals.

In scale of 1-100%, how much HD800 is the HD700?

I would imagine that any regular deals thread checker is also a for sales checker. Maybe not, but I personally like having them separate. Sure. Who wouldn't like a little extra publicity for a for sale thread? But on the other hand, the potential for abuse, the arguing about what is a good deal for a used item, the potential listing here of every listing there, etc. is probably not worth it.

Yep. Some people that are self-posting would bump their posting again here, repeatedly, if the item didn't sell.

Better would be to have a separate "for sales forum" discussion thread if there is a real need for it or interest in it. Then those that are interested in it could subscribe to it, too. No need to combine it into this one :)

yep keep your damn classifieds in the damn classifieds section and don't bump unless you've waited a decent amount of time.

Because we have an entire section of head fi dedicated to those sales already. It would be redundant, and can be easily abused.


It most definitely would be abused. Can I start? I have a few items for sale in the classifieds. :evil:

And if there were rules about it in the first post in this thread, people wouldn't necessarily read the rules, as has been repeatedly demonstrated when it comes to other rules (lol).
