The topic's pretty self explanatory. I'm shopping for a receiver and am looking either the Yamaha 795a or 995 (probably the 995). Other than eBay, are there any online dealers that are reliable and offer a good price? I'm not having much luck thus far. Thanks.

Crazy Eddie's Online (www.crazyeddieonline.com) will beat any price. You have to order over the phone since it's not a true e-tailer, but I don't really see that as a problem. I personally haven't ordered anything from them, but I will most likely order a 795a this week. I've read positive stuff from them on the 'net. They quoted me $449 for the 795a.

If you go to www.costsheets.com, you can get the dealer cost schedule for Yamaha stuff (the receivers' dealer prices are pretty far back in their listings, but they're there, just keep looking). Crazy Eddie will most likely work with you on the price if you call them up and say, "Look, I know an older dealer cost schedule had the dealer paying $xxx for this model, so I'm willing to pay $xxx+10%," or something like that.

At the start of the year, the 795a's dealer cost was $360. (Local B*llSH*T GoodGuys were
selling this for $799!!) It supposed to be a little lower now - that's why alot of good deals started popping up for these guys.

I already posted my 2 cents about this in the other bargains forum.
