I had to go to Home Depot the other day to see Paul (The Natural). He was at lunch, so me and my friend went to Best Buy next door.
We headed straight to the Car Stereo section. Everything appeared cool...until my friend saw the "Open Box section". This is where they sell used or display stuff CHEAP.
They had an RF cd player for $75!!! just because it had no wiring harness. A Clarion (6675rz?) with no face plate for $75. I was and still am seriously considering going back for the RF. Just for use in a podium. The Clarion faceplate, I am sure is expensive. But, I was just amazed that they would sell stuff like that for so cheap.
CC's open box section is more expensive, but, you get all the necessary pieces though.
Anyone else (I'm sure Kyle will have some input on this) notice some of those good deals?

Yep. I did...N2HIFI also said the same. Same deal a few radio with some missing pieces selling for a LOW price. You could buy the radio get what was missing and STILL have one hell of a deal...

Hey Vega.. Clarion has quoted me a price of 50% of the original retail price of the unit, for the faceplates.. so if the deck is 300 bucks retail, the face is 150.. for all you math wizards out there..

Now why the hell doesnt my local Best Buy or Curciut City stores have that feature? I can use a decent cheap Head Unit like that. Guess living up here in the north isnt as good as eing down there in the south. Ahhhh well, heh.

I found an Alpine CHA 1204 changer at Circuit City for 79.99. I got it for my parents cause they wanted a tape and CD combo. They bought the tape deck to go with it. A good deal indeed. Sometimes awesome deals can be found in the open box specials.
I also bwose through some of the pawn shops around where my friends live in houston. I find good deals there sometimes. For instance an Alpine 7845, in think is the number, for 135 bucks. It had the box and instruction booklet. Only thing wrong with it was the antenna wire was cut off. no problem for me though. I just got one off a broken pioneer I had. Opened the Alpine up and soldered it on.
I still have the Alpine today.

try this, its worked for me, i went to CC and bought a sony vega 21" tc for 489 total with the 3 year warranty.
i took it home looked at it for a few hours and took it back. it was brand new and unopened. when i took it to the counter a guy completely unpacked it, put the tv and remote on a cart and rolled it away, and the girl gave me my refund.
I go back in either that same day or the next day, i dont remember which and eureka there is my tv on the open box cart for $300
hmmmm save $200 dollars, i wonder how often this would work?
