so i did a nyc craigslist search and new-in-the box seemed to be 10% less than retail

add back in shipping (ok you saved the tax) and its still a breakeven with a bit of a risk- like a new box and no headphones inside? - this is not a dealer, its a private party

not worth the risk imho

some things you just pay retail for....

would you like a referral to a really great brain surgeon in ahmedabad?

low prices, fast service, and he's read about many of the latest techniques

but boy can he save you money even after you pay for your flight

funny that he recommends you only buy a one way.......
