Onkyo TX-NR818 $949.88 - Page 6

I just got mine after calling One Call 2 days ago for $850. No tax and free shipping.

With Labor Day weekend here we might see some deals. I just got quoted 865.00 from OneCall, but I am waiting for it to go under 800.00

Well, I'm interested in seeing the best deal to be had too, as I have been watching this one for three weeks now, looking for a deal, I never thought I'd never stray away from Yamaha, as I have owned 4 or 5 over 20 years, and not one unit ever failed, or ever gave me a single hick-up, still using one today, but from reading what this model is capable of, I thought I'd give the 818 a try out.
Thx for sharing any info on finding a deal!

Who is selling it for 699.00 ? I cant find it.

He lying, no one will sell it for 699, maybe on black Friday but not now

Why are you posting here with a mis-leading post? I'm getting tired of t those that are posting here with posts like this, they come here and post info that is worthless, and mis-leading with-out some facts.

This thread's purpose is to help those looking for a deal, please post factual info or your post will be treated otherwise.

Example: Frys is selling the Onkyo 3009 for $999, but it's an in-store purchase only, and if live close to a Frys.

Sent you all the info. Let me know how everything works out for you.







well since I'm lying no need to send you the link.

Posted last night from my I-Phone and couldn't post the link. If I would've know folks would have such attitudes I wouldn't even have bothered so I'll just erase it.

You are missing the point. In order to help people you need to post a link or name/contact info of the deal. It is obviously not helpful without the info that others can use. If you have helpful info, that is more than welcome.

Not missing the point. Tried to post it from my iphone but it wouldn't work. So I went to bed and was going to post it from my computer in the morning. There's no need for someone to jump to conclusions, get an attitude and say I'm a lie. If that was someone else posting it I would've just sent them a PM asking for the info. Titans1 has the info for the deal so if he posts it fine if not oh well I'm done.

No attitude here at all ( sorry if it was taken that way ), I was stating to " Please post some info ", with a link or the website for someone to go and check it out, just like my previous post, I stated anyone could pick-up a Onkyo 3009 at Frys, and I included a link, and plenty of info for people to check it out, That's all I was kindly asking.

And 5 posts later there is still no link.

Considering the refurbs are going for $729, no wonder no one beleives this guy. All he has to do is post the link and tell everyone to STFU......however he hasn't, so I call BS.

And I will not be posting the link any longer. Hence the deletion of the post. No BS I sent the link to titans1, thats it. As stated before I'm done. If he chooses to pass it on so be it. Contact him if you call BS.

Just don't get some of you guys. Instead of being polite and saying " hey you forgot the link" or can you post the link please" I wake you to " he's a Lier and all this other crap. Very classy.

Just remember you show respect and you get it back in return. It works that way in the real world too.

You remind me this boy when I was 10 that wouldn't tell the other kids where he found the new flavor of bubblicious.

a) grow some thicker skin if you wanna enjoy online forums
b) post link
c) receive gratitude and feel good about helping your fellow enthusiasts

Agreed. Whether you were slighted or not, no reason to punish the rest of the community. Thanks in advance if you have a legitimate offer from an authorized dealer and follow through with an actual link.

:eek:What happened around here. Ok leroyjr did do me a solid he sent me the link when he got to work. Timing is everything and comcast was here installing phone and internet (just finished actually). Here is the link http://cgi.videogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?rcvr71ch&1345313487. I tried quickly to check out the deal but i'm just out of time gtg to work. Seems to me leroyjr deserves apology but i dont get caught up in the forum drama. I will keep searching later hopefully the deal is there.

The problem with videogon is that its basically an auction site and none of those guys are authorized dealers. Plus tons of scammers prey on people on those sites. He's advertsising for $700 plus shipping plus credit card fees. I'd rather pay a few bucks more and get it from onecall which comes with a full warranty and peace of mind. Again, all he had to do was post the link, but he didn't because it was from videogon. Buyer beware.

And no, he doesn't deserve an apology.

Buyer beware? Not an authorized dealer? Do you always talk out your ass or do you ever put any thought into it. This is a HIFI shop that I've visited and bought items from over the past couple years. This isn't your typical best buy store these folks deal with a lot of your higher end gear. I've walked in there and listened to $50k+ systems. So just don't assume because you don't know. Just like many other HIFI shops they also sell on the web because there's not a lot of demand for that kind of high end gear. Most folks like myself look for deals and can't afford $100,000 systems.

Hope that clears up the scammer part for you. Try giving them a call and get the business name so you can see for yourself.

Proof of purchase/scam or it didn't happen. Lol.

butter and jelly please.

It is possible that this is a listing from Lynn's Audio Video, in Logan, Utah. I clicked the authorized dealer tab on Onkyo's website and input the zip listed in the Audiogon ad.

OK, enough going back and forth, leroyjr1 provided info on where he found a possible deal, if people want to look into that possibility, then go for it, if not, the let's look for some new possible deals.....

Yes, Lynn's Audio Video in Utah does come up at Onkyo's dealer listing: but if you buy online from them, make sure you understand your warranty on internet sales....



But the same people are listing a Klipsch THX Ultra2 system for half price, that's been listed for 327 days, viewed over 1500+ times, and not sold for half price, so go figure that one out, almost a year, and not sold....


Let's please look for possible deals that can be found from regular online retailers, Amazon, Newegg, Onecall, JR, Vanns, etc etc.

It's got to be getting close for some late night e-mails going out tonight for tomorrows Labor Day sales! Cross our fingers cause I really need a new receiver right now.....:D

agree hopefully deals start tonight im ready to order

Man talk about a real dissipointment, everything is on sale BUT the 818!!!

What the heck is going on? Talk about trying to get sales, and nothing probably until black friday.....

Anyone see anything yet guys?

All of the Fry's $999 NR3009s in Phoenix are gone. AMZ has the NR717 for $549 http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-TX-NR717-7-2-Channel-Theater-Receiver/dp/B007JOO4YS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1346943399&sr=1-1&keywords=nr717 Onkyo must really be putting the screws to the resellers over MSRP on the NR818.

I just called Onecall. The phone price for the NR818 was $999 and $1319 for the NR3009 (same as the website). I told them I was on the fence over the $549 NR717 from AMZ or the NR818. The sales rep asked what price I was looking for and I said "$900". I was "put on hold to ask the supervisor" and they agreed to $900 w/ free shipping; so I pulled the trigger (my NR901 just died so I can't wait). Yes, I'm a crappy haggler but it only took a few minutes on hold to cut the price down $300 from MSRP.

The 3009 for 900 shipped, thats a good deal, enjoy, onkyo always sound better with big full range speakers...

If you can't get the deal you want, just call the next day and then the next day till you get what you want, timing is everything and different sales people is the winning mix..

That was $900 for the NR818; which was stupidly my first offer. I should have started at $800 but I was in a hurry to leave for work.

Its still a good deal, whats a few bucks, as long as your happy...
