This is no bargain. A refurbished item for $299-I bought the TX-NR626 BRAND NEW directly from AMAZON for $319 delivered a month ago. Shady?

616 was on sale not the 626. 616 for $319 was a kick but deal because even though it did not have the wireless, it is THX certified and has an additional 5 watts. If you don't need the wireless, or even if you do need the wireless it was a killer deal new. If you are in dorms and can't use the Wi-Fi it was the best choice dollar for dollar for a new unit in the same category. No shadiness here

Not sure how you got it for $319. Camelcamelcamel.com says Amazon lowest price on new item was $445. Shady?

One big difference for me is that 616 is WiFi ready and the 626 has it built in. They sell a USB wireless adaptor but that just ups the overall cost.

Hello Lynda , I bought a new one just because the price difference wasn't that great so I just went with new! I am sure if you want to save a couple of bucks you couldn't go wrong!

This item is $24.99 and is in refurbished condition. It looks new and is fully working. Thank you for your interest, Clayton Recellulartoo

The unit linked to appears to be new. I purchased a refurb that proved not to work, and on the second go-round purchased new. The improvement over my old unit (Harmony 800--I think) was stunning. Nearly all of the things on the old unit that drove me b@tSh#t had been fixed. It really is a sweet unit.

Remanufactured in this context is same as refurbished. The unit I got was in box new condition. Not even a scratch..or fingerprint. Likely previous buyer had buyers remorse and retuned..so unit considered used. It is a hefty price..but a top of line toaster..and ideal size!

Brand new from factory. I think they have to market it as re-stocked, refurbished, etc...see note below from Darryle though, this is true.

Excuse me, Are you sure you bought this item the Onkyo TX-SR707 for $499? I am looking for one, and it is in almost $700.

I didn't buy a GPS yet. Maybe I'll ask Santa for one. I think I would buy the 265w.The refurb. price is right, around $90.00 . The reviews are 4+ stars. Ckt. City hada new one for $90. ,plus postage I think. I was hoping Consumer Report would havean updated report on Gps's in Dec., but none. I don't know what a 765 even sellsfor. I don't drive much anyway. But, I think I would use it. Thanks for asking.

The one I bought was sold as refurbished, but I don't know if that is true of all of them. It was in like new condition.

I ordered one from http://www.warehousedeals.com/ This is an Amazon site. They have two available right now. If there aren't any when she checks, just keep checking. It says they're refurbished, but it tells you exactly what's wrong with them. I think they are packages that were returned to Amazon, so they can't sell them as new. It says that one of them has minor blemishes, but the other one just talks about the box. Mine hasn't come yet, but I think it will be fine. And it was cheaper than the deal they had on here.

The one I purchased was new. It will usually indicate Refurbished in the title or description if it is being resold.

Mine was definitely new. Make sure you click the New button on the screen not the used. The used ones appear to be selling for around $50.00 and the new for $130.00. Pay for new and if it is not new return to Amazon.

Sheila: At $278, that wasn't an issue for me. At that price, it's almost a throw away. I'd ask Google. BTW, stay away from extended warrenties. They are not worth the price. If a TV has something wrong with it, you'll know in short order.

I am really wanting this unit, but worried about the "refurb/new" thing ... should I be concerned? were you guys able to update maps on ALL those that suspected "used"? ... should I go ahead and get it ??

Agreed, Amazon can shove it. Just bought one off of eBay. Base price was 1889.99 shipped, but I get $151.20 cash back from Windows Live, and hopefully another $56.70 cash back from ebates.com for a total price of $1682.09. Ordered it today around lunchtime, will be delivered tomorrow between 10 and 2. (beat that, Amazon).

2597LMT has the all features, it looks like, selling for $149.99, brand new. The 2557LMT doesn't include BT. I would buy the most cheapest used. As long as it's in very good condition and has all accessories. This is pretty much what I've done and it works for me.
