Just have to gloat a bit. I scored a CS400i on ebay last week...buy it now for $200...wound up being $215 shipped to my door. Seemed a bit too good to be true since they have been going for much more lately but I got it freshly listed and the guy had good feedback. Arrived today and is near mint. Sweet!

So now my ever-changing office rig will get the cs245i and go 5.1 again. Yippee!

    Cool. It's great when you get a genuinely good deal off ebay. I recently won a Monster power center for $102, that sells for $349 new. Very cool.

    Well, there are good deals to be had there...but it still seems like about 1 out 10 of the things I get there wind up with some issues, be it cosmetic or not performing as described. So caution is always best.

    Whats really cool is when you find an auction that is in the wrong category. That's when you can score big, especially if theres no reserve.
