Buying a marantz 8400 on ebay

anirudh Khanna Bronze Member Username: Suppal138 Post Number: 12 Registered: Jan-05	Posted on Sunday, May 01, 2005 - 22:18 GMT how safe is buying a receiver on ebay. the sellers are highly rated and the sale is for a new factory sealed marantz 8400 receiver for $650. Includes a 3 year factory warrenty. Will this hold up if I buy from ebay? Also how does the Marantz 8400 compare with the Denon 3805. I heard the Marantz with a pair of KEF Q5s which I am buying. Sounded awesome. The power on the Denon is more. The prices are comparable (except on ebay).

anirudh Khanna Bronze Member Username: Suppal138 Post Number: 13 Registered: Jan-05	Posted on Monday, May 02, 2005 - 13:18 GMT I thought as much. It just sucks to think of paying about 1000$+ for a unit that was lapped up recently for less than 500$. Any comments regarding comparing Marantz with Denon

" True, however if the unit happens to "die" near the end of the warranty and you get a new replacement... You do the math.

You do the math. That argues for buying two of them at $500 rather than one at $1000. Surely the odds of it breaking down are less than 100%?
