From searching the FS ads for phones and amps, I've noticed that most of the asking prices are not far off from the new retail prices (generally less 20-25%). Compared to used components that are "non head-fi" like speakers, turntables, power amps, line preamps, cables, etc...the going resale value is less 30% to 50% depending on the age of the piece.
It's not like there isn't a lack of competition or shortage of phones or head amps to choose from out there. Cans are probably one of the most abused pieces in the audio chain not to mention that they sit on other peoples dirty heads and uncleaned ears.
Being new to the phone world, I'm totally shocked with these used asking prices. Help me understand
