I've used Accessories4less.com and have purchased a refurbed AV Denon receiver. It was cheap and if memory serves, it was packaged in a plain brown box (vs the original manufacturer's packaging). Other than that, it was like 50% off of "new" pricing and worked fine.

I had no issues with the transaction, and they actually contacted me to follow up and make sure I was happy.

I was happy with the sale and the state of the equipment when it arrived. No issues there.

Now, as for the AV Receiver itself, it wasn't a high quality piece and I gave it away. I think my son-in-law law is still using it in his man cave.

I don't know about Accessories4Less, but I have bought a number of 'refurbished' items and I've not had any problems with any of them. They often come with warranties as well....

My older AV pre-pro crashed and new models were in short supply. I bought a refurb Marantz AV 7706 from Accessories4us a week or so ago. I paid for fast shipping and expedited handling. It shipped the day I ordered it and arrived in two days. Looks brand new. Has the original factory stickers on it/was "fac-packed" (though gear slingers know how to do that). Came with 1 year factory warranty plus 2 years extended.

Now if only I could figure it out- talk about complex! I did get it working though and it looks and sounds great. This is for a modest 4k/5.1 home theatre set up in my front "parlor."

Marantz did acknowledge that they are a legit reseller. It isn’t just price- given the Covid/Supply Chain/Yada (I need to come up with a defined term for this), such devices, brand new, seem to be in short supply.

Good hunting.

I’ve purchased a couple home theater receivers from accessories4less.  The stuff I’ve purchased looked new,factory packaging,and warranty. Fair prices too. No affiliation.

I’ve bought a bunch of refurbished stuff from acc4l for myself and friends for a number of years and all purchases were excellent. Also good experiences buying refurbished direct from Cambridge and Elac
