My new Replay went caput and I can return it but want to find a replacement first. My understanding is that the 5504 does not have Commercial Advance (a feature I rather like). Replay will transfer my service agreement to whichever unit I replace this one with. South Orange County preferred - looking for the standard $149 price, too. Anyone know who is still carrying them? Radio Shack and Circuit City are totally out here. Any help is most appreciated. Super Bowl coming soon - gotta save those commercials!

Ebay, but you're gonna pay a whole helluva lot more than $149. Who at Replay told you they would transfer service?

I have a 5040 and a 5060 (really a 5080) non activated I might part with. Lizard_Boy what are these selling for on EBAY?

Is this not standard? Had concerns, so called and talked with Raoul and was advised that I just needed to call in with the new unit - whichever one I bought, and they would transfer the service. Still have the defective one waiting for a replacement. Any advice is appreciated.

Good luck with the $149. I have an activated one I will sell for $375 plus shipping. But you might get a better price on Ebay.

5060s (non activated) around $250
5040s (non activated) $175 - $225, kind of all over the map

That's a good price, they're averaging around $425, plus typical high ebay shipping fees.

Those are just the initial bid prices. The "buy it now prices" are around $250, and if you look at the "completed items" list, you'll see that they are all going for over $200. It would be ludicrous to sell a new 5040 for $50 less than the original retail.
I'd advise that you check out Craig's list regularly. That's where I bought my 5040. You may be able to cut a better deal than a "highest bidder plus shipping" ebay deal.

Craig's list is a free internet bulletin board with stuff ranging from for sale to vacation rentals to personal ads. It differs from ebay in that it has local listings and is not an auction format. If you live near a major population center, there should be a craigslist for your location. Just go to: www.craigslist.org
Click on the right side for your location, then the top left corner to select "for sale", then type in the box "replay 5040". See if you get anything.

I used it once to make sure it works and that I didn't get nailed with that Replay inactivation weirdness of December ( it was a stocking stuffer for the missus). That eerie blue light and the higher noise prohibited it for the bedroom, so I got another 4040 for there instead.
I'm certainly too lazy to endure the Ebay hassle, though I did sell a laser disc player and some movies a few weeks ago and that was fairly painless.
