I told eBay to alert me when it was getting close to bid time being over
They sent me an email saying the bidding was done 2 minutes after
The guy who bought it got it for fuckin 305 >:c
Iāll learn my mistake about not just sitting there and watching eBay until the last second

I donāt think if you were competing with them it would have gone for that price. You might have forced them to pay $200 more for it, but expect they won it for a lot less than their top bid / what they would have fought for it.
I have to remind myself of the winning bid illusion - just because it went for x doesnāt mean I would have won it for x + $2 if I had got involved, though it feels like it.

Yes but why was a $1200 IEM going for $300? I guess weāll never knowā¦

Yeah it seems that way, 29 people was watching and only like 6 actually bid on it. Iām suspecting itās because other people werenāt aware like me unfortunately
I wouldāve paid up till 5 hundo on the dot before I gave it away, at that point Iād look for a u4s
Iām honestly just annoyed he got away with it for 300, god Iām not a good person lol

I need those deals lol, but I got the luck of finding deals right after spending money.
Which is what I think happened here, bought a project M and now lady luck is making me look at what I missed

I really like the Kailua, but it is very good at everything, and not great at anything. I think that is why it wasnāt as widely embraced as some other HBB sets. The bass on the R1 is a bit better and noticeably more quantity, with some slam.
I tend to use the Kailua and Hola at the office right now, but if I am at home listening to something with purpose, the R1 would win. Kailua is still a very good set in that range, but I added too many sets too fast, and have been sorting out the new stuff. The LM got me back to Olina SE, and I prefer the Olina SE.
I havenāt A/B tested them, yet, but I am pretty sure I would take Kailua over both the EA500 and the LM. The Simgot sets live right at the edge of too bright for my tastes.

Also, I am really enjoying the Doscinco, so I might not be putting as much time into the under $100 sets that I have sitting around right now.
