Against the recent AUD comp set, A$210 lands a touch above the A$187 median and below the A$213 upper quartile, so this reads as a fair-to-slightly-ambitious ask rather than a bargain. It’s close enough to market that a clean example with any extras can still make sense, but there’s not a lot of discount baked in.
The C200 has a strong reputation as a compact all-in-one headphone amp/DAC: clean, low-noise, and practical for a desktop or secondary system. If it’s in tidy condition and includes the remote, power supply, and original box, it’s a sensible buy; if anything is missing or untested, there’s room to negotiate a bit given the modest premium over the median.
