I don't see a warranty. Is there one? For that price I would suspect it to be "as-is".

i think remanufactured might have been like a call back on that product then the prob was "fixed" and now its back on the market

a refurb it the same thing as remanufactured as far as im cocerned. they took a broken unit, fixed it, maybe replaced some worn parts, and now are selling it for much less than the origional price. seems like a good deal if you ask me. if i wasnt saving up for new subs i would have already bought that.

No what happened was that you said the price was extremely low and they said "Oh, we can probably sell it for more then."

AHHHH! So mad right now.
Just got home and I open my e-mail and what do I see?
An e-mail from HookedOnTronics saying they're out of stock!
BS
The auction was for one unit only (not a lot), so it's not like they listed one too many and I was the last person to buy one.
God I'm so mad. That's really shady I understand taking it down before someone buys it because you realize you can get more for it, but to back out on a bidding contract (eBay terms) is just wrong and I think illegal if they really aren't out of stock.
I'm gonna annoy the hell out of them for a week or two and if I still don't get it leave some nasty negative feedback lol

HookedOnTronics = shady
Will never do business with them again.

This is the first e-mail I just sent them.

HookedOnTronics,

I don't believe for one second that you are out of stock on this product. Why would you have four auctions up for them, including your two other accounts, if you were out of stock? And if you really are then you should send me a new one that you have listed now. Seems like a little more than a coincidence that you list the same product with the same picture, the only difference being it says "new" in the description instead of "Factory Remanufactured" within 24 hours of taking the "Factory Remanufactured" listing down. You made it pretty obvious to me that you were screwing me over.
If I don't get a response to this e-mail, within 24 hours, with a better explanation, an honest one this time, as to why I'm not getting what I paid for or an e-mail saying you're sending me a new one, then I'll have no other choice, but to file a complaint with the BBB and eBay, not to mention leave negative feedback.
For future reference it's not the best idea to rip off your customer just to make an extra $300, that's like what <1% of your daily sales, especially when that customer was seriously considering on buying from you again.

Also found a really nice Pioneer nav double-din for $256 shipped. BNIB. I'll post the link for people who are interested, but first I need to know what it means if the preamp voltage is only 2v. Does that just mean my amp will have to work harder or what?
There's 15 available through Buy-It-Now, just didn't want Chad or someone buying all 15 before I decided to buy it or not.

Wasn't sure if the guy was legit but he did recently sell a $800 camera and got pos feedback. E-mailed him asking if he'd put up an auction for Buy-It-Now and he said to give him your address then he'd e-mail that to eBay and then you could buy it. So it sounds like it's through eBay and you'd have protection, but IDK how that works. He can't really scam you with just your address right?

And I was jus playin around stateprop. I highly doubt they screwed me over just because you e-mailed them saying the price was low. If so then they are a worse company, or w/e you wanna call them, then I thought.

Hi,

I have 15 units for sale.. all is new in box, never opened and price for one unit is $250
If you`re ready to buy one i need to know your:
ebay user id: ...
Fullname: ...
Address: ...
City: ...
State: ...
Zip: ...
Country: ...
As soon as I have them I'll start the official procedure, and eBay will notify you about this. You'll also receive important guidelines + instructions from them, this deal will be through eBay ONLY!

Thank you

Me:
Hi,
If I were to buy one for $250 you'd put up a Buy-It-Now auction through eBay right? A lot safer that way.

Thanks

Him:
Hi,

I need the details exactly like i have requested , because i have to
forward the email to eBay.
In short time, they will contact you with an Invoice in order to
complete this transaction!

I think he meant personal info and yea sounds a little shady to me too. The only reason I was thinking about doing it is because he has 100% pos feedback and sold someone a camera for $800 recently. But you never know he could've bought it himself then left himself pos feedback just for this purpose lol
