I was poking around on the internet for a Denon AVR-3805, and found
lots of them on ebay and ubid, that are refurbished.

Why are their so many refurbished units? Is there a problem with the
AVR-3805, that so many have to be sent back to the factory?

Are you suspicious that so many Tenons are available refurbished because
so many were brought back for refunds because they were defective? And
that if you buy one that defect may not have been fixed so you will have
purchased a known lemon? Good reasoning!

This is nonsense, though. "Buy a U.S. market model or it's going
to explode" Do you honestly think the Denon they sell in Taiwan
or Australia or wherever is going to be faulty? They buy these for
cheap, ship them over, and sell them as "refurbished". It's a bit
dishonest, but technically it is a new Denon with no warranty, just
like the refurbished ones you can sometimes get directly.
