I've found some good prices on ebay for stereo receivers I'm
considering, but they're "b stock."

The seller promises a 1 year warranty (not as long as manufacturer's),
promises they're in great condition, and the price, if they turned out
to be lemons, wouldn't exactly destroy me. Still, I'm nervous.
Anyone have strong opinions on whether such purchase would be safe?

I've done it many times and never been disappointed.

So have I, but from a real, authorized dealer with the mfg's
original warranty. The notion of buying "B-stock" from a
non-authorized source on eBay with "their warranty" just
leaves me cold.
