100% FUNCTIONAL Marantz AV8801 11-Channel Pre-Amp Processor Amplifier

Description

IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT MY OTHER AUCTIONS, WE ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF PROVIDING A/V HOME THEATERS FOR LUXURIOUS PROPERTIES.  WHATEVER DOESN'T SELL WITHIN THE FIRST OR SECOND YEAR, WE BRING IT TO EBAY, SO WE CAN RECOVER PART OF OUR INITIAL INVESTMENT.  CONDITION IS AS PICTURED, WITH MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY VALID UNTIL THE STATED DATES ON EACH AUCTION.  YET, THIS PARTICULAR ITEM SOLD AROUND 3 YEARS AGO.....AFTER QUITE SOME TIME OF ENJOYING HIS THEATER, THE OWNER DECIDED HE DIDN'T WANT TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED, AND THAT HE WAS OPTING OUT....LONG STORY SHORT, IT TOOK QUITE SOME TIME, AND LEGAL PRESSURE TO RECUPERATE THE HOME THEATER ITEMS....THIS WAS ONE OF THEM.
ITEM SUFFERED SOME PHYSICAL DAMAGE IN TRANSIT DUE TO IMPROPER PACKING....I DID TAKE IT UNDER WARRANTY FOR A CHECK UP, TO THE MOST REPUTABLE MARANTZ AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER WE HAVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, AND IT TESTED 100% FINE!!!
I ALSO TOOK 2 HOURS OF MY PERSONAL TIME TO CHECK MOST FUNCTIONS, ESPECIALLY ALL HDMI INPUTS AND OUTPUTS.  YOU ARE GETTING A TRULY FANTASTIC PIECE OF EQUIPMENT FOR A FRACTION OF ITS ORIGINAL COST.  I WILL BE CLOSELY PHOTOGRAPHING ALL THE PHYSICAL IMPERFECTIONS I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE USING A 3.0 MAGNIFYING GLASSES.  THE MOST DISTURBING ISSUE FROM MY PERSONAL POINT OF VIEW IS THE FRONT LATCH NOT BEING ABLE TO FULLY OPEN OR CLOSE, BUT AS WE ALL KNOW, IT IS RARELY THE CASE WE NEED TO ACCESS THE CONTROL PANEL IN THE CONSOLE ITSELF.  ALSO DEPENDING WHERE I PLACE IT, IT SEEMS TO SEAT UNEVENLY, BUT I CAN'T BE CERTAIN.
FOR MOST OTHER PEOPLE, THE BIGGEST FLAW WOULD BE A SLIGHT CRACK ON THE FASCIA, BY THE SELECTOR KNOB.  YET, I ONLY SAW IT UNDER EXTREME LIGHTING, AND THE MAGNIFYING GLASSES ON.  I DID ALSO NOTICE SOME PHYSICAL DAMAGE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT FRONT OF THE LOWER FASCIA AREA.....
AMAZING HOW NASTY A NON-PAYING PERSON CAN GET, AND GO THE EXTEND OF DAMAGING STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT HE ENJOYED, AND JUST DIDN'T WANT TO PAY FOR THE AMOUNT PREVIOUSLY AGREED FOR IT......
PURCHASE DATE OF THIS UNIT WAS 12/05/2017, HENCE I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT FOR THE CHECK UP RIGHT BEFORE OUR LAST CHRISTMAS.
FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS AUCTION YOU ARE BUYING A 100% FUNCTIONAL MARANTZ AV-8801 WITH COSMETIC IMPERFECTIONS!
