I think some peeps are just having fun with the bidding. There may be some retracted bids by the time this one is over.

I was tempted to join earlier when I first noticed the auction, but my bid wouldn't have lasted too long.

I bid $2800 as the first bidder

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.

I hope you all get banned from eBay.

I wasn't kidding with my bid. I'd pay $2800 for them in today's market. I'd flip them later, of course.

Well that's alright then.

why is it the last one in his collection? Grado has too many PS-1 in his collection;D

oh so you are the one! heh

I bid $3000 and not planning to go any higher. Like you said, with current prices I am sure I can flip them fast

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.

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.

Well look at that. Two on ebay at the same time.

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.

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?

I paid less than $850 for my PS1s

$3050 with one hour left.

Amazing, it didn't go any higher.

Yeah I sorta expected around 5k...

I'm guessing that someone just got stuck with them who did not expect to get stuck with them.

Oopsy!

Are you serious?

LOLlers.

PS Good thing they are really good headphones.

That'd be my guess too...no last minute bids at all

Congrats? Al?
