F1GTR Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I think some peeps are just having fun with the bidding. There may be some retracted bids by the time this one is over.
MrSlacker Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I think some peeps are just having fun with the bidding. guilty
F1GTR Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I was tempted to join earlier when I first noticed the auction, but my bid wouldn't have lasted too long.
n_maher Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I'd laugh if one of you got stuck with them if the auction didn't go nearly as high as expected. Ebay is a fickle bitch.
Dusty Chalk Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I hope you all get banned from eBay.
grawk Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I wasn't kidding with my bid. I'd pay $2800 for them in today's market. I'd flip them later, of course.

d_rayman Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 why is it the last one in his collection? Grado has too many PS-1 in his collection;D
MrSlacker Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 I wasn't kidding with my bid. I'd pay $2800 for them in today's market.

Blackmore Posted January 15, 2009 Report Posted January 15, 2009 As an collecting item of limited product I would agree with the high price tag, but as an headphones they aren't worth that much, imo. The highest I would pay is their basic price, which was EUR 1000, I believe. The funny thing is, when I putted GS1k pads on them, they sounded damn close to them, which made me think that GS1k was twicked from PS-1. Soon I am going to listen to them again, but then with better source, so I can make my mind what ever I want them or not, cos I don't see me to choose PS-1 above GS1k when I listen to any genre, except ROCK and that's pretty limited, imo. p.s. Of course if you hate/don't like/cant stand GS1000, PS-1 are the only Grado I would own.
purk Posted January 17, 2009 Report Posted January 17, 2009 I think the PS-1 in a used market will soon drop as the HD800 starts to work its magic. I remember back when the HD650 was released in 2003, the price of all HP-1, & 2 dropped from $1200 to almost $650. Of course, a year later the HP-1s went up again after folks found they like their HP-1 better than HD-650.
F1GTR Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Well look at that. Two on ebay at the same time. Grado PS-1 PS1 Professional Headphones RARE - eBay (item 120365722952 end time Jan-25-09 18:48:26 PST)

Of course, a year later the HP-1s went up again after folks found they like their HP-1 better than HD-650. I thought the HP1000 dropped in price (early-ish 2004 IIRC) because the PS1 was new and being touted as the "best grado ever". That took pressure directly off of what was a small demand/supply for the HP1000 (until the HP1000 got a new injection of enthusiasm on head-fi, and then the PS1 production ran dry). Though that did kind of all happen around the same time...my memory is a bit hazy there.

Though that did kind of all happen around the same time...my memory is a bit hazy there. No you are pretty much correct or I should say that is how I saw it. PS1's came and the price of HP's dropped pretty dramatically. People complained of the PS1 bass heaviness and I remember seeing its used price going down - there was a time when I saw a set of used Ps-1's from Blitzula stay on the boards for a week at $850. I remember looking at it for a bit, and saying, "nah...not worth it":palm: I bet this is how many feel about the mastering label DCC - all those yummy hoffman mastered gold cd's you could have got for $15 or less. I wonder with the HD800 how the NOS vintage market will end up. Also, does anyone know if the HD800 is a limited edition?
Knuckledragger Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 $3050 with one hour left.
mypasswordis Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Amazing, it didn't go any higher.
peanutbutterjam Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Amazing, it didn't go any higher. Yeah I sorta expected around 5k...
n_maher Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 I'm guessing that someone just got stuck with them who did not expect to get stuck with them.
Dusty Chalk Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Are you serious? LOLlers. PS Good thing they are really good headphones. Edited January 21, 2009 by Dusty Chalk
grawk Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 That'd be my guess too...no last minute bids at all
