Absolute0 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 Apparently these are going for $380-$400+ in the states. Might be worth shopping online for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idkfa 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 (edited) Drop me a mail if someone's interested. I can get it cheaper. Edit** My mistake, upon conversion, those from states as quoted above USD$380~USD$400+ seem almost comparative if not cheaper. But I my pricing are those brand new ones.

Absolute0 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 Those that I quoted prices for are new as well, afaik. Of course used ones are more likely to be in the lower end of that price range. But I haven't been following the price threads closely as I am not in the market for new cans myself. Just a heads up for those who may be interested. Anyhow, what's the cheapest you can get them for, idkfa? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idkfa 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 Well, those cans go for madness at the sony suggested retail price of 77,700yen(SGD$1120)=[. But the stores in electrical town retail for around 51,000 yen. I can probably get them around the 47,000yen~ mark. After conversion turns out to be ard SGD$730ish?~. Those REALLY interested, I can get them at a lower price from a friend. But not that spectacularly lesser lah. PM me if you want Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
