I think there is something up with the Amazon Warehouse pricing algorithm. The blue/green/pink ones are going for $200 off in acceptable condition. I haven't seen the space grey or silver ones listed quite that low, but I have a feeling Amazon is going to fix this soon.

Thanks - I must have misremembered. Shame, but at least mine are working properly
Scored a new "used" SG pair off Amazon for $423. Was "good" condition; we'll see what that means.
I had a pair of SGs when they first launched and really enjoyed them, aside from excessive clamping force during long listening sessions. Just didn't feel like they really demonstrated a $600 value. I feel much better about the ~$400 price point. Again, we'll see if the condition is good enough to keep them.

I think you'd be surprised at how ****ed up some of these Amazon returns can be. The algorithm probably isn't far off. It's always a gamble when you buy new/used from Amazon. Sometimes the item is solid, sometimes it's garbage. Acceptable is one notch up from "fair," so I'd expect some pretty significant damage under that heading. It'd feel pretty ****** to spend $400 on some scuffed up headphones. Make no mistake, you are not buying perfect, new APMs at $200 off.
I did the same thing a few weeks ago. I bought a blue pair sold as used - very good for 425. If they are similar to the ones I bought, you won't be disappointed. They were basically new. In fact I'm pretty sure it was factory sealed. There was a sticker on it saying it was from the warehouse, but the original wrapping with the pull tab was all on it.
I hope you love them! Inspired by @Tdevilsg I bought silver “Used/Very Good” for 447 from Amazon. They were pristine! The discount was enough to overcome my “I really should wait” hesitation and now I’m enjoying my APM every day.
Personally I wouldn’t mind cosmetic damage for a significant discount.
There is a used like new silver and used very good space grey up on amazon warehouse now, silver is 480, the SG is 467...not a bad deal

Well I pulled the trigger. I caught an open box space grey in excellent condition for $460. They’re supposed to be here by Wednesday. Now I just have to tell the wife. 😂
Amazon has them up at least in the USA for 1 day shipping. Not sure if CA has the same though?
Oh yeah, we get them from time to time. Just curious where Apple is at right now. I remember a little while ago there seemed to be some movement. It would be great if they’ve moved on to fulfilling Jan orders.
yup my other pair ordered on 15th January still have the date of 9-16th march

Thanks for the heads up. I just purchased them. I have an open box pair coming from Best Buy tomorrow that were $465. I’ll compare them with these and see which one is in better condition.Heads up, a pair for 412 dollars on amazon space grey

Sweet man. Curious how they are, let us know what you think. Me and art fossil got some real nice pairs discounted from amazon. Pretty much new.
That’s my hope since they’re almost $60 cheaper than the open box ones from Best Buy.
