I meant to ask you today Jon about these HD250's

But as Graham himself has already stated, the customer should not just be "a secondary consideration" with regard to entrepreneural sales and "we must always tell the truth" because customer trust and confidence is easily lost whilst difficult to acquire. It'll be a good learning exercise for me as well. I might make some people very happy with my sales and gain some money at the same time, which'll go towards my next subsequent Graham Slee purchase... (Yes Graham, I certainly haven't finished with my purchases from you yet!) It's going to cost me hundreds of £££ () but my mind is already set and I can be quite stubborn.

So it was you, then, that nabbed these:

I had my eye on them as a spare pair in case anything happened to mine, but  I cancelled my intended snipe bid once the scale of the bidding frenzy earlier today became apparent.

I remember seeing a completed auction - within the last year or two - for a virtually BNIB pair of HD250IIs that had sold for £31. Someone certainly got a bargain on that occasion!

Although I paid nearly three times as much for mine (before then), I count myself lucky that I got them when I did.

It does seem rather a shame, though, that other people who have yet to experience these phones will now find themselves competing against someone determined to buy up every available example that appears on the market, thus denying anyone else the chance of acquiring a pair at a reasonable price. But that's supply and demand, I suppose. Don't get me wrong - these cans are worth the money - it's just the innate bargain hunter in me that feels slightly aggrieved.

Good luck in your endeavour. As investment choices go in the current economic climate you could do a lot worse, and it could prove to be a very sound one.

I did wonder if it was you Ash, I was looking at those as well
