Used Focal Spirit One for $80 to $83 [falling knife alert!]

UPDATE (2/2/15 at 7:29pm ET): the prices dropped by $10 since I posted this last night!
Focal is a well known company, but names don’t make the headphones. Their Spirit One headphones were not as well received by audiophiles as well as their Classic and Professional over-ears. After all, the “One” were targeting more of a consumer sound, with an Apple 3-button mic/remote. Regardless, they are currently available in Used condition with multiple listings at Amazon Warehouse Deals. The “Used – Good” condition go for $80 (was $86, was $96), while “Used – Very Good” for $83 (was $89, was $99). Since there are multiple listings, and if these don’t get scooped up, there is the possibility of the prices dropping further down. These are not the latest model in their line-up.
