$1500-$1600 in the US is about right for what MK-1's have been going for as of late, but as prime specimens become harder to come by I think you're going to see that price sneak up.

You're likely to spend 20% more on them in Europe.

I'm not sure about the Asian market, likely similar to the USA.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

At 15-1600 OK but it looks like someone snagged paradox's pair for 2k??  What the?  I sold a secondary pair I got as a combo with amp for what I got it for or roughly $1600 for the o2's just a few days ago.  Guess he must have gotten the steal of the century?  I don't think so - something's weird here.
Paradoxper on HF hasn't sold his yet, AFAIK. His ad is still open. He is asking $2000, but I don't know if he'll get that.

I miss the early-mid 2000s when you could snag a pair of SR-007s for the low $1000s.

Says sale pending for me....

In his defense they appear in great shape and I think they are black/brown rather than the more common brown/brown.  Or it could just be shitty picture taking.

I haunt the classifieds of all our forums like a hawk.  It blows my mind sometimes how hard of a time I have selling some of my gear dealing with lowballers and "negotiators of certain ethnicities" and then you get other sellers who seem to ask outrageous prices selling stuff like it ain't no thang.  I'm just getting senile!

Right. I missed that Sale Pending part of the ad. But still, we don't know how much he is actually getting for them.
I wish they would do it more like EBay so people know how much things are selling for and how much they're worth, etc. Historical sales figures would be helpful. I use that feature all the time on EBay. Of course, A'Gon charges you if you want to see their data.

I paid for that audiogon feature for a year, it worked pretty well for most stuff.  It was useless for rare items though...like the Stax X1t "average selling price" of $20,000 since only one was sold there up to that point in time.

Careful with ebay... there was a o2mk2 for instance that was up and had bids... I was one of them.  Then all of the sudden the seller pulled the plug.

So what do you see now when you search? An o2mk2 that closed with no bids at $1000.  Misleading much?

I noticed ebay is a terrible yardstick for pricing Stax gear.  I see garbage sell for way more than it should and the good stuff pass by unnoticed or undervalued

You can just filter by Sold listings to get a more accurate representation.

Still there are edge cases. I won a BIN for a LNS for $100 that the seller reneged on (and later sold for ~$400-500). That'd still have shown up in "Sold" listings.
