Used V-Moda M100 Over-Ears for $150 (no accessories)

If you are not a perfectionist and have plenty of accessories, seller “Cellular Stream” (97%, 3921 ratings) is offering the white-silver color-scheme of the closed-back over-ear V-Moda Crossfade M100 headphones for $150 in “Used – Acceptable” condition. The listing says you get the headphones only, no other accessories and even though the units are fully functional, they have signs of wear, scratches, scuffs, minor cracks, etc. Given the solid construction of the M100s, this may be a risk some may be willing to take. This is fulfilled by Amazon, so if you have problems with it, you deal with Amazon’s customer service and returns, not the seller directly.
