can't believe I missed it. I bough my first HD6xx back in last Nov when there was a lot of buzz about the Massdrop deal. It seems like it was a stealth sales this time around?
tooltalkThere was no stealth sales. They even e-mailed you to tell you that they are doing an HD6XX drop. You had plenty of time to join this time around. The starting sales was $249.99 for 7,500 units but MD increased the drop to 11,500 units so they could hit the $199.99 price mark which everyone wanted.
6EQUJ5The starting sale was $249.99 for 5000 units. They got backlash from the community and striked a deal with Sennheiser to bring it back down to $199 if 5000 units were purchased and upped the limit to 7,500. Then it got a further update to 11,500 units and pushed the drop close date.
mmf1The limit was 7500 units right from the start.
Edit: deleted my comment about price update happening at the same time as the limit increase, I think you were right about that :)
