volteratorSome fucker added THIRTEEN QUID to my auction in the last 30 seconds, fortunately I saw this coming and added 17 to my maximum bid in the last 35 seconds. Motherfucker. You. Lose.
So, outbid them and their paltry £51, for a final price of £52. Still a good deal, since I saw a pair of lesser SR60s go for £48 the other day and a second pair of SR60s currently stands at £43 with two hours to go. But, alas, up til seconds earlier it was going for £38, which would have been legendary.
Edit: Tother pair of SR60s went for £44. I'ma watch prices rationalise.
Currently assuming UK average of 40-50 for the SR60s and 50-60 for the SR80s used on eBay. US price: £48 for the the SR60s new, UK price for same £85. Fucking Unbelievable. That said, I saw a pair of 125s go for £55 the other week, though they were in pretty scabby condition. Now that'd have been a coup. Had I known how shit'd turn out I'd have pressed and won them.

Date: 2010-05-02 06:57 pm (UTC)I prefer ear-canal jobbies, and I was lucky enough to blag a pair of Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10's the day Amazon was shifting them for $99 ... of which $70 was Amazon gift vouchers. (SRP: $499.)
I don't think I can easily afford to upgrade from them.

I only dabble, on whims, but I've been using a pair of fifteen quid Philips headphones for the computer for the last ten years, and a succession of better canal ones for the iPod. Time for a change.
