That was years ago! I think I sold something like three Bose Xs to forumites. I used the money to buy a second hand non-Bluetooth A20. I then found a good deal on a second hand Bluetooth A20 so I sold the non-Bluetooth one to another formumite and friend! I lent him another Bose X some years ago and haven't asked for it back yet, so I potentially have another one. Since that meant I only had one top-of-the-range ANR set to hand because of this, I bought another forumite's Sennheiser ANR set to use as a spare/passenger set.
The forum is a good place for the movement of headsets if you're lucky/patient!
As for repairs, yes, there's not much to go wrong with a passive headset, and usual issues are just breaks in the wire, usually at the plugs, though sometimes they are caught in aeroplane doors! Repairs shouldn't be that expensive. If one of the speaker units goes out, that's the ideal time to upgrade them to ANR with one of the Headsets Inc ANR kits. In the Bulldog I've got two DC headsets which I built up using a combination of DC hardware and Headsets Inc ANR kits, plus a military microphone.
