Anyone else looking into refurbs and the warranty that they have?
I would have thought that there would have been many more comments on this thread!!!

Bernard,
maybe i missed it earlier in this thread (i've been skimming through trying to catch up from the past couple of weeks) but do Dakmart actually have 4806s in store? If so, I'd agree that does sound a little strange. However if they are just listed, they may have done that in the "expectation" that they will soon be receiving shipment of some.
Again my apologies if this was already mentioned.

Well, they "claim" that they have them in stock, but until you really order, who knows????
I still find that situation very, very strange.

For anyone that is interested, there are some interesting threads on the AVS Forum about warranties. Some of the comments, if true, and I should emphasize "IF TRUE" verify my notion that the manufacturers are playing games with the consumers.
If anyone has some "deep money pockets," I suspect that you could take these manufacturers to the "cleaners." In a way, I am somewhat surprised that someone hasn't already done it.
Has anyone on this board actually had bad warranty experience with new (not refurb) gear bought in the United States from an unauthorized dealer? If so, I would like to hear your story either on this board or send me a PM.
What's going on here could be almost as bad as the BS with speaker wire.
Just something to think about.

One thing that someone posted on another board is the extended warranty that you get when you buy with a Master Card or Visa platinum. Had forgotten about that.
Anyone here have any experience with warranty with one of those cards?

Well, there have been a few negative comments on other threads on this board about getting DOA refurbs.
I suspect that it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but that is always a BIG risk, IMO.
