With the chip shortage, nearly all quality head units are out of stock, however I’ve noticed on crutchfield that a good amount of scratch and dent head units are available. Anybody have good luck with these?
I purchased the Sony XBR-55X810C from Crutchfield and ended up opting for the scratch and dent store as many reviews led me to believe that it is frequently just packaging damage or small scratches in the worst case.
I received the TV today and I saw some damage to the box, nothing that bad. After unboxing, the TV still looked good and I didn't suspect anything that would require a return.
Unfortunately, when I powered on the TV, this is what I saw. http://imgur.com/DSIMUzV
I called Crutchfield and they are paying for the return and refunding me completely but it is just a bit disappointing. I may end up going with the 850C anyway but will probably wait until after Christmas.
Just thought I would share my experience.
What are peoples level of comfort with these categories at Crutchfield? Refurb is the cheapest option but I worry that if a unit already had issues once it will have more down the line.
