eBay headphone sale: refurb Bose QC35 I w/warranty for $199 [and more]

EBay is running its own Labor Day sales and of headphone interest, they have 41 products under the headphones and accessories category including:

+ factory renewed BOSE QC 35 first generation closed-back over-ear ANC & bluetooth for $199 with free shipping from the official Bose eBay store with a 1-year BOSE warranty and original packaging; available in black only; limit up to five per buyer; over 5600 units sold so far;

+ factory renewed BOSE QC30 neckband bluetooth earphones for $140 (likewise as above)

+ Jabra Elite 65e for $40, Active for $100

+ Bluedio Hi truly wireless for $15 [over 6100 units sold]

+ Sony WH-1000X Mark III for $275 from RedTag Camera; almost certain this is an international/import as there is no mention of Sony warranty on the listing; it would have been nice if sellers were honest to mention this prominently on the listing so the consumer can make an informed decision

+ iPod Nano 7s, iPod Touch 4th gen for $30 to $75, Skullcandy Crusher 360s, Bluedios, etc

NOTE: Many years ago I purchased an original new condition iPod Touch 4 and over time upgraded it to the latest allowable iOS version. Fast forward to the latest (and last) iOS upgrade, it became a total slugfest with crashings and such. Half of the music apps could not be installed because it had an old iOS version [thankfully I had some already installed]. And its battery performance was a total disaster. So keep that in mind…

eBay Coupon: 15% off $25+ until 4/1/18 (up to $50 off; use twice)

And it’s another deal fishing expedition of the latter kind. A total one hundred eBay sellers are participating in this coupon promotion using coupon PSPRINGBF that gets you 15% off discount on orders of at least $25. The biggest discount you can get with the coupon is $50 off. BUT you can use this coupon TWICE per eBay account during this promotional period.

Of headphone interest, there are 320+ items under Portable Audio and of those, 133 of them are headphones.

A variety of sellers are participating, some authorized dealers, some not. The products can be in different conditions as well. Check each listing ~ do not make assumptions! eBay is an open wild-west [but not Westworld yet] type of a marketplace 🙂

The extra duration of this offer also gives me more time to go through more listings fishing for deals and posting them 🙂
