I just won a HK Citation 5.0 on ebay. I placed this bid the other day and forgot about it. Got the winning message today. Was this a good price?

Here is the link:

Here is the same unit (diff seller) on the 'gon. Is this really the avg price for this?:

    I was going to post this for you, but you already seem it. Is this your unit?

    From what I've searched on the web it seems like you got a deal.

    I would say would got a good deal. If it's the same one as on Audiogon, then blue book $ is around $750 (used).
    Michael ;)
    In the beginning, all knowledge was new!

    Thanks for the responses guys. Arranging payment with seller now.

    Wife does not know about this...yet:eek:

    At least this isn't as bad as when I was bidding on two receivers at the same time a while ago and won them both....

    I really need to stay away from these sites:D

    Looks like a great deal. I owned the Citation 7.0 and was very impressed especially with the 2 channel pefrormance. I always wanted to try the 5.0. 6-Axis is a nice surround proram similar to Logic 7. I have a nice Fosgate 5X60 WPC amp cheap if you are interested with box and manual. . I am anxious to hear your opinion. Enjoy! Jeff
