Well, the seller has a reserve price on this receiver, and unless someone bids ABOVE whatever price that is, we'll never know how much the seller is asking. AND - he wants $40 to ship it !!! ( Geeezzz, I could probably ship my mother-in-law for $40 !! ) That's probably about 4 times the actual shipping costs !!! IMHO, stay away from such auctions. If I want X amount of money for something, I would START the bidding at that amount, not have some unknown figure held as a reserve amount. But, that's just how I feel. Otherwise, the HK is a very good receiver, and you may be able to find a new or refurbished one online for less than whatever mystery amount this dude wants for his used one. :2cents

I agree...

I agree...

I think maybe it is the OP's auction? I didn't see a question, just a post of the ebay link.

I agree...

Yeah, they are both the Chicago area, so someone just bashed his auction:haha:......Ouch!

Anywho, Loves2Watch, I just caught your added tag line, and I must say, WOW WEE!

Friends don't let friends buy Korean brand TVs? Samsung is not that bad. Really. I know their customer service supposedly sucks, but I love my set. Works well for my room. Hmm. Really?

damn you. Picked me up a sammy plasma last spring. It was a side by side comparison with a panny,,,and both me and me lass thought the sammy delivered the better picture. Played with the settings on both tv's for about an hour. Not at one store,,,but two different stores. so far, the sammy has performed flawlessly for basically 10 - 15 hours a day. shat, probably just jinxed it be huffing about it. :D

I didn't take any offense, just kidding with you. I bought my TV before I ever knew of this forum anyway. I love it, but I have heard stories of the Lucky Goldstar and all.
