Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Denon refurbished AVR-3808 for $1000 on eBay

AudioTronic is the store here in Peterborough. $1750 plus taxes and extended warranty is $2000 at least. TylerDCA, where do you reside? Kind of funny the guy from AudioTronic said that about Axiom speakers. I've been dealing with them since 98 and they weren't too happy when they saw I switched to Axiom from Paradigm when they where here for a service call :-)

I live in Ottawa.

He was saying... Give me $4000 and I'll give you a pair of speakers that will blow away the axioms.

My response was that it is funny that the Axioms cost about 1/3 the cost. And for 3 times the cost I would expect them to blow them away.

You guys need to make a trip out to Calgary, listed price on the 3808 is $1599 and I picked mine up for $1280+gst.

Can you expand on that? I've been looking for a cost effective way to get stuff from the US.

Sure can:

Excellent, thanks!

I have found that shipping via USPS is better than UPS etc. UPS gets expensive because of the tariffs they charge, but I just recently had a Siemens phone delivered from the U. S. via USPS and I wasn't charged any tariffs. Although shipping is slower, it's cheaper. I don't know if it is hit and miss with USPS but I'll definitely be going that route again from now on.

I do that whenever possible, but sometimes it isn't a possibility. For instance, there is a company I have bought some DIY stuff from that only ships FEDEX. They carry some stuff that I can't get elswhere so It is good to have a second option.
