Ok so since the cat was kinda out of the bag, I'll tell a story here.
About a month ago, I tracked down my (and Dan's) W10VTG. I had a conversation with the seller, and it seems he was possibly looking to sell.
Meanwhile, I los a few bids on Y! Japan. I decided that for sentimental reasons, I wanted to have my old pair back.
The Head-Fi guy was 'thinking'. So I pushed him a bit, and asked him how much he was thinking he'd sell for. He told me $700.
Now, that may actually be a worthwhile price for the wonderful sound form the VTG, but I was not willing to tkae a bath for that much. $500 is a resonable price, and I rebutted that. He never responded. As of a few days ago, a New in Box pir was listed for less than he was asking. Good thing I know my ATOW values That new pair has since been sold. But I'm not willing to spend that much, knowing I'd lose so much on a resale. Hey, I love the phone, but lets be realistic here.
So i hit up Y! Japan one more time. I just won a MINT pair. Excelent shape, and all new pads. The selling price? $327.
