Smeggy Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 What's considered a good price for these? I've seen them going for upwards of $300 and I've found some for about $150. Is that a decent price? Quote
Voltron Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 I am about to sell a nice pair for $200 or so if you are interested. Let me know. Quote
boomana Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 I think it depends on the condition and if they've been modded or not (I'd be wary of some mods folks have done themselves). Somewhere between $150 to $200 seems to be the going rate, with them running near $200 or slightly above lately. Since a recable is pretty important as well as mods, you've got to add that into the budget. My first pair was a gift, but I've picked up two others on ebay, one for $160 and a mint one with box for $225. Quote
Smeggy Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 Cool, thanks. These are apparently bassy, stock and fair condition. I have another thing in the works so I'm waiting on the results of that first. Quote
Spiug31 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 I consider myself to have been very fortunate to pick up my pair for Quote
Voltron Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Mine are not bass-heavy model, btw. If you need a better deal, I can work something out but I think I paid $230 or something for them. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 I should probably get that pair for my mom. Let me know if the other deal(s) doesn't(/don't) work out. Quote
Voltron Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 I should probably get that pair for my mom. Let me know if the other deal(s) doesn't(/don't) work out. Your mom wants hard to drive old-school AKGs? Assuming Smeggy doesn't want them, tell me what you [your mom] would pay. Quote
Smeggy Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 Go for it. I'm hoping the other deal goes through and I'd want the bassy type anyway. Quote
guzziguy Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Mine are not bass-heavy model, btw. If you need a better deal, I can work something out but I think I paid $230 or something for them. Hi Al, Have you listened to my K340s? I have no idea if they are the bass- light, middle or heavy. Maybe you could tell me? Regards, -ken Quote

Regards, -ken I have heard yours before, Ken, and I would say that they are not bass-heavy but I don't know how to distinguish between middle and lighter or it there really is such a distinction.

Assuming Smeggy doesn't want them, tell me what you [your mom] would pay.$200 or so is probably fine. Did I just jump to the front of the line? I thought I was third or something. Gah. Quote

Smeggy Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 Man, now I'm really pissed I found this awesome deal, Stax SRD-7 MkII plus Stax SR-303 for $200 and the fucker will only accept cash and local pickup.... in Tokyo! AAAAAAAAAARGHHHHH. I even offered him lots more cash if he'd post it. Waaaaaaaaah, I want my mummy! :'( Quote

AAAAAAAAAARGHHHHH. I even offered him lots more cash if he'd post it. As I recall the round trip ticket price for Toronto to Tokyo is around $1000 or so, $1200 is still a pretty good price for the set. I should fly there and grab the set, then sell it at a nice profit.

Smeggy Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Posted March 2, 2008 Stax SRD7 with SR303, $200 Round trip ticket to Tokyo, $1000 14 hours sitting in baggage class with screaming babies... priceless! Quote

Duggeh Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Etys or a bottle of milk with vodka in it. Quote
Voltron Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 $200 or so is probably fine. Did I just jump to the front of the line? I thought I was third or something. Gah. There was no line, I just saw Smeggy's thread and had been thinking of putting my stock pair up for sale. They have velour pads and AKG replaced the original curly cable with a new curly cable (prior owner did that for some reason). I have the old cable and the original vinyl pads if you want them. The elastics are in good shape too. If you are not really ready to buy I will just post something up, so no worries. Quote
deepak Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 Is there an easy way to replace the elastics on the Sextett (didn't think this deserved its own thread) Quote
swt61 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 If memory serves philodox made a pictorial of just that on HF. It's relatively simple though. Once I took mine apart it was kind of self explanatory. Quote
