Well, I bought a Denon DRA-685 receiver, and it finally came in today. I bought it from a private party seller, and he said it was brand new and he bought it a month ago.
I have a couple of concerns about it though, as I am afraid he may have misrepresented the receiver. I am hoping someone here will be able to help me.
1. It smells kind of like old cigarette smoke, does anyone know if they smell like that out of the box?
2. It has a red ink message (stamped) on the bottom of the receiver at the front. It says, "MAYBE COSMETICALLY SCRATCHED HOWEVER ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFORMANCE TESTED. 90 DAY WARRANTY" I am wondering if this is the mark of a refurbished receiver, or if this comes standard on a new Denon receiver.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks
