Going to be lazy and simply link to my Trademe listings, naturally buyers from GZ will get a bit more shaved off the price. A word of warning on the headphones in particular: these are extreme high-end bits of audio gear, prices not for the faint-hearted.

These are in Auckland of course, but can be shipped anywhere.

Interested parties should be able to DM me unless my settings have changed without my knowledge, like what happened that one time with our logins or something.

Hey, have you listed a price, location and how much shipping would be to other parts of New Zealand? Also if you are asking for a PM make sure your Privacy settings allow your account to receive PM otherwise people can't contact you.

Leckterton USB DAC/amp sold!

Fully balanced RSA "The Intruder" USB DAC/amp, fully balanced T5p, iPhone, and FZ-100 camera still up for grabs.

Adding HiFiMan HE-6 to the mix, cool price of $1000 to GZ buyers ($1300USD new + shipping + GST usually). Properly driven one of the finest headphones ever made, I've compared directly with the HD800 and found these a more enjoyable listen by a fair margin with their planar magnetic bass response and overall tone (although I'd give the HD800 the nod for a slight advantage for technicalities and 'analytical listening'). I have an amp capable of driving it and it is certainly amazing, I'm going to take a step down to the HE-500 though in order to be able to drive it from portable sources should I choose. Buyer beware: these are extremely difficult to drive - you will want to run it directly off speaker-taps or via a headphone amp capable of putting at least 5W into 50ohm (probably no one here besides me has a headphone amp that powerful). Check the threads on the HE-6 at Head-Fi.org for more details so you go into a purchase of these eyes wide-open to the amping mountain you will have to climb with the HE-6.

Likely HTC Butterfly listing soon...

UPDATE: Now listing near-new 16GB Nexus 4, still under warranty from Warehouse Stationary. Very slight surface scratching only visible on careful inspection. Looking for around $550.

Whoops, edit due to typo.

Did the Nexus 4 sell? Can't see it in the listings

My views (except when I am looking out their windows) are not those of my employer.

Apologies, lack of clarity there on my part. I haven't listed the Nexus on Trademe as yet, I still have it.

Note 2 added to the big tech clear out, looking for somewhere around the $650 mark. Minor cosmetic damage only, not really noticeable when not inspecting for it.

Oh, forgot to mention earlier that prices for Geekzoners will obviously be less than Trademe prices.

Will soon have an Xperia Z and HTC Butterfly up for sale if parties are interested.

Note 2 has sold on Trademe (although the buyer seems slow in contacting me, anyone who would have been interested in the Note could still register their interest with me in case the sale falls through).

Kopkiwi: What are your thoughts on the Butterfly? As good as the one?

Certainly not as good as the One on many fronts, but anyone wanting a micro SD slot who doesn't want an S4 should get the Butterfly.
