The Onkyo 797 has a US MSRP at $1000 which is of course about $1650 Cdn. THe best price i found in canada so far was $1899!!
I got the receiver for $1500 but i can't say where although he is an authorized dealer. He still made a bit of cash off me but i'm sure not alot.
I could have got one via ebay brand new for about $1650-1700 after tax and customs.
Even this whole cable issue. I talked to a guy about getting 12ga cable for a buck a foot and he sold me his 10ga for the same even though it was listed at $1.50.
Since when do people get 33% off the retail price when its not at Walmart?
Ya, serious markup. I can't imagine how people pay 8 bucks a foot for cable when it probly costs about ten cents a foot to make.
I guess it must be all that R&D cuz i know for sure i'm THRILLED with the Axiom price:performance:quality!!
