en480c4 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Replacement for the VW GTI. Unfortunately I haven't sold the GTI yet, but I couldn't pass this one up. Hopefully I don't anger the car gods by buying before selling! Speaking which, if anyone knows someone looking for a low mileage GTI, you know where to find me!

JBLoudG20 Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Posted August 23, 2008 Those are some funny looking motorcycles.
morphsci Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 speaking of hippies burning gas... OR speaking of hippies burning gas... Hmmm .... I'm not sure the guy in the second link qualifies as a hippy as he was not born until a year after "the summer of love".
en480c4 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Those are some funny looking motorcycles. No, what would be funny would be trying to commute on a motorcycle with the dog who's very, very afraid of motorcycles!
hungrych Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 Here in Cape Cod I saw some real hippies, complete with a 3 man drum circle and the requisite hippie slogan posters, including a Dennis Kucinich 2000-something poster with the last digit crossed out and an 8 written over it.

Fungi Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 A TransDAC for a somewhat high price It's not so bad if you consider the quality/value in today's market (at least according to Filburt) and with rising demand (hopefully) I can sell for at least what I paid. Time to stop being lazy and start taking pictures of headphones to sell.
lostonetr Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 ^ hehee. I took the pics. then a few months later..i figure I might need to take another more current set for the sale ad =/ And how much did u pay?
JBLoudG20 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Posted August 24, 2008 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. BACK WITH MY VTG's BABY
deepak Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 Damn auctions, there was a Bitstream I was hoping would go unnoticed
grawk Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 Plus the cost to do the international stuff tho. But still a good price
JBLoudG20 Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Posted August 24, 2008 Plus the cost to do the international stuff tho. But still a good price $390 shipped. I just paid for it.

diebenkorn Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 I wish I knew you were looking for them I had a pair that I was looking to sell (already sold) and I am an hour away from you. Though my asking price would have been around 5 so you got the better deal anyway.
Fungi Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 ^ hehee. I took the pics. then a few months later..i figure I might need to take another more current set for the sale ad =/ And how much did u pay? 450, pretty much what I just got from the AD2k sale

Though my asking price would have been around 5 so you got the better deal anyway. That's a fair price. I was willing to shell out 5ish, but 700 is a bit ridiculous. I did get a great deal, as long as they arrive in a suitable condition. We shall see.
philodox Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Nice score Jay... even I was considering those NOS VTGs on headfi, and I've yet to hear an AT headphone that I liked.

philodox Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Well, I've never heard the VTGs, JPNs, or the Leatherheads and I've always been interested. Oh, and STFU WTFBBQ.
