Hello all,
I recall stubling upon a post here and there where people suggest buying refurb/factory second receivers from online dealers - Harmon Kardon, Onkyo, etc. I'm interested in picking up a receiver this way but I am having trouble finding sites that will sell to Canadians.
If possible, could you reply with links to various Canadian-friendly sites for me?
Much appreciated,
Jordan

You will want to go to an authorized refurb/b-stock dealer if you want one with a warranty the mfg. will honor. I know the Denon website has a list of such dealers.

I don't see anything on the Denon.ca page that leads to any refurbished receivers. Where is it that you are looking?
As well, the ecost link/site seems to be down. What's up with that?
Anyone else know of somewhere online that I can find what I am looking for?
Cheers,
Jordan

My bad with the ecost. It doesn't work with Firefox. At least not for me.
Cheers,

To clarify a bit more, it doesn't work with firefox but it does work with other browsers like Safari for example.

I would think long and hard about getting a refurb. There are several on this board who have had good "luck" with refurbs. But, you don't have to go to many other boards to hear horror stories of what they received. I once bought a refurb Toshiba laptop and that is the last refurb that I am going to buy!!!!!!
I would strongly recommend that if you do go the refurb route that you buy from a dealer than has more than a 90 day warranty and carefully study the warranty so that there are no doubts in your mind what it covers.
Just a few thoughts.

I'm almost 100% sure HK sells their refurbs only thru their ebay store. At least the ones that are offically from them.

I'm pretty sure that NO refurbished receiver, or new receiver for that matter, bought in the US would get a warranty in Canada.
And I don't believe there are any Canadian sites carrying refurbs. Please correct me if you know of any.
