Best Place to save $$$ on a Sony stereo system?
Just browsing the web I found this just as an example. Never heard of the place, but West Marine wants $199
This includes shipping. Anyone have a place to save $$

Broken stuff goes back to MFG, gets fixed (hopefully) gets new cosmetics, new packaging, and gets repacked like new, and MFG sells it to . . .whoever and they sell it usually on-line.
BTW: LOTS of plasma TV's on the internet are re-furbs or "B" goods that MFG's won't sell to dealers. Plasma panels have a 20 - 40% defect rate in manufacturing. It has been getting better, thats why prices keep coming down. But they just don't throw the panel away. They get "something" for it through non-dealers via the internet.
I have been in the electronics business for over 30 years, LOTS of internet stuff is clever re-furbs. I sincerely hope yours is not. . . . But if the price is real cheap - it probably is a refurb.
Just my $.03 worth.
