Against the recent used market, US$350 sits right on the median of comparable asking prices, with the spread running from US$304 at the 25th percentile to US$531 at the 75th percentile. That makes this a fair-price listing rather than a bargain, but it is still squarely in normal territory for the model.
The A90 is well regarded for clean, powerful, low-noise headphone amplification, so a tidy unit at this price is a sensible buy if you want a serious solid-state amp without chasing the top end of the used range. The upside is strongest if it’s complete and well cared for, since a clean, ready-to-use piece at the median is easier to justify than paying up for one with unknown history.
