(dead) Yamaha HTR-5550 DD5.1/PLII/DTS receiver $128.48 shipped (refurb?)

[yellowperil]

At uBid SuperStore

Go here and search for htr-5550

Doesn't say if it's refurbished but has RB in the title, and the one without RB is $213.99, so I assume it is.

Thanks for the post.

Awesome price (I got one)....

This is a great receiver - they also appear to have "non RB" (?) models for about $200.. either would be a good deal!

 

[Slick5150]

Is it possible to contact uBid to find out if RB does infact mean refurb? I'd assume it does, but its such a good price on that receiver, its tempting.

(I don't know how uBid works, so i don't know if contacting them is possible)

Hmm...I just got a Pioneer VSX-D711 from CC for $179.. I'm wondering if I should return it and get the Yamaha? Save about $50 or so..

This is so tempting... but Ubid doesn't seem to be an authorized reseller, and I'd like to get an extended warranty if it's a refurb

Plus, Ubid has pretty bad reviews on reseller ratings...

 

[knightc2]

Refurb or not this kicks arse! Yamaha makes a great receiver and for less that $130 shipped? This is insane. Would want some sort of warranty though. Even 90 days would be nice. Anyone know if it has one?

 

[Tanner]

sure would like a warranty!

 

[wisdomdbn]

Out of stock!!

LOL the new HTR-5540 is cheaper than the refurb:
HTR-5540 New $170.99
HTR-5540 Refurb $180.99

NOT dead! I just ordered one right now. HTR-5550 RB (edit: linkified)

 

[jahanzeb]

yea i just ordered one too

 

[iliopsoas]

Too cheap. Bought one for good measure.

 

[IgorFL]

I caved in too - Bump!

 

[So SimpaL]

Anyone get their order confirmations yet for either one, RB or New?

I'm a bit skeptical when it comes to ubid and a $2.49 ground shipping clause.

That Pioneer advertised at CC is not a good deal at all (spotted at techbargains).

Online it goes for 129 and barely has any optical inputs, and certainly no Svideo/Component switching control which the 5550 has.

Does anyone know if BVG works on a site like Ubid?

 

[aldamon]

Sick sick sick deal. I hope Ubid treats everyone well though.
