eCost: Denon AVRs: 2805S, 3805S, 2805. Ships 2-5 days.

Yup, so they're back. Kick ass pricing, as usual.

They even have the 2900 and 2900S (cheaper by $20 for some reason) in the same status, availability 2-5 days.

I've now done two orders through then, one for a 2200, the other for my *FANTASTIC* 2900S.

Take a look folks.

I've been looking for a CD player and see they have the refurbed Denon DCM-380 for $89.95 (it's 299.99 at my local store for a new one).

I never bought a refurb or from ecost...you had good luck there?

I just called - 3805s/2805 availability July 30th.
Denon 3803 in stock though for anyone interested.

Are you guys sure this is a reputable site to order from? This just seems a little too good to be true. Those prices are just insanely inexpensive. A Denon AVR-2805 for only $529 compared to retail price of $900? Are they an authorized Denon on-line dealer? Is the warranty good? I am currently shopping around too for which receiver to get. I am trying to replace my Onkyo TX-DS575X DD/DTS 5.1 Receiver, but everywhere I look locally, the 2805 doesn't go any lower than $900, and the 3805 is supposed to be $1200. I'm also looking to replace my current DVD player, 5-disc Onkyo DV-CP501, with a Denon as well. Maybe the 2200 or 2500.

Twice. And I wouldn't hesitate to go back again.

Shaun, they're refurbs. And yes, they are authorized Denon refurb dealers, and all those products come with 90 day warranties, and you can purchase additional warranty from eCost if you find that important. I guarantee you there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

Chuck_W · 07-21-2004, 10:58 AM

thanks for the reassurance Drew. I just ordered a cd player, so lets hope I have the same luck as you!

Shaun · 07-21-2004, 10:58 AM

Ok, so they're refurbs, not brand new items. That explains the low cost. How can 2805s and 3805s already be refurbished? Aren't these new models?

These are new models, but even the newest models have refurbs, since these are units that were probably returned for some sort of problem, either through manufacturing or shipping error. They were then remanufactured and fixed to original specs. I think a good thing about refurbs is that they are individually checked to make sure that they are manufactured to original specs, while some of the new units are not checked, they are simply built and are not examined for mistakes that may have occured during the manufacturing process.
I have myself have bought refurb units from authorized sites such as AC4L and ECost, and have nothing but good luck with the units. I think that if you are worried about purchasing a refurbed unit, just get the extended warranty (Which in itself is also very cheap, for the most part) and in case your refurn stops working and ECost cannot fix it, you will get a brand new unit. I think that purchasing refurbs through authorized Etailers is nothing but a win-win.
