You should consider yourself lucky:p

That is an exorbitant amount of cash for a pair of PS1. They are good headphones, but at that price, hum...

@CD44hi, yeah, $3500 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much! Its madness! Might as well get an L3000 + amp for that price eh?

@peeradonn, did you manage to buy the L3000?

If I was not mistaken, you were looking for an L3000 over at the other site?

I see. Funnily enough I didn't perceive the DB like funny at all. The DX-1000 are way funnier for instance.

I had the same evolution as you about Grado. I never listened to any current production model that interested me in the least (I have to listen the GS-1000 yet), but once I knew PS-1 and HP2 I had to change my mind. It's quite surprising PS-1 are John's design. Maybe his oncle helped?

Take the left over free systems aluminum cups, screw in some tweaked gs1k drivers, and you have the ps-1.

Biggie.

Yep, You're right, Now my choice is L3K or STAX SR-Omega, I still looking for it. But PS1 is just a chance coming So I tried and it already passed.

$3,401 is a lot of money for a pair of headphones, but at least the shipping was only $15

No way I'm ever giving that much to someone from ebay. For anything.

$1500 RS-1s,and now $3400 PS-1s? Its no wonder the OII has had a recent surge in popularity.

at least the shipping was only $15

That's a real bargain! It normally costs about $35.

No way I'm ever giving that much to someone from ebay. For anything.

But.. but... Paypal has awesome buyer protection!

There is nothing to fear!

But seriously, that is the same guy who sold the other PS1s too right? Should be relatively safe no?

Speaking of O2, I wonder if the Mk1 prices are going to shoot up too?

Well, the someone on ebay is John Grado, that's fairly well established.

Speaking of O2, I wonder if the Mk1 prices are going to shoot up too?

It's been a while since one sold on H-F in the For Sale forums. It only takes one person to sell at a higher price that will become a reference point. It won't be me though, I like them too much.

If its John, then it should be 100% safe.

I've always found it weird that he refers to himself in the third person though. o_0

New PS1 from the private collection of John Grado.

technite71 is indeed the official Grado Labs eBay account, much as bd-usa is Beyerdynamic and koss4129 is (duh) Koss. I don't think John Grado actually manageds the account, which might explain the references to him in the third person. I hope that $15 included insurance.

It's already begun in Japan but Stax made a lot of them in those 9 years so they will never be rare.

There were 12000 K1000s made yet leave it to Headfi'ers to drive up the price on such a common headphone

That sucks that the price in Japan went up on the SR-007 MK1, a backup would have been sweet.

Sad but true. There are at least 2000 HE60's out there but the price rose from 700$ to about 2k$ in a few months.

First of all, congratulations to the new owner

And I'm glad I did not bid for the PS-1... because I've gotten my hands into 'something' else

@Akabeth

What is this 'something else' that you speak off?

@spritzer

Oh noes, the mk1 price has begun to rise already? What's the average going price for a used mk1 right now?

They are running close to 120Kyen in Japan now which is quite a jump from the average 85k-95kYen a few months ago. The US price is around 1500$ and slightly more for a set in very good condition or a BL for those that want that.

Afrikane's SR-007 MK1 was the last cheap one I saw, and that sold in something like five minutes \

I've always had good luck with want to buy ads (knocks on wood), much easier than checking the forums non-stop.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did his set go for?

randerson sold his MK1 last week I think for $1450. decent price for a pair, I paid $1350 for mine, sold it for the same.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did his set go for?

Never mind I just searched, it wasn't an MK1.
