Used Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Plus for $121

This is a promising listing if you have the patience of wait and see. Currently there are four separate “Used – Very Good” condition listings by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual on the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro Plus headphones for $121. Condition is slightly different per listing.

Strategy: since there are four listings and this is not a mass market model, if no one buys them, there is the possibility of supply putting price pressure on demand and prices dropping further down. Their new condition price is $200 for the black color scheme which is what these are. They average 4.3 out of 5 based on 56 customer reviews. These are customizable in many different ways, but Beyerdynamic is not really advertising them, so they don’t have the average consumer brand awareness that other models have. They are closed over-ears.

PS: this is the first of many used deals to be posted in the next couple of hours. I finally found time to go an uninterrupted fishing expedition in the Land of Amazon Warehouse Deals. As usual with these type of things, supplies can be low and prices can change, so YMMV on how long they will last.
