Used Onkyo 3200S-Help please-Newbie

[shravank30]

I am thinking of buying a used Onkyo 3200S HT for use with my 42" LG42LK450

It is 2 years old.

This is my first purchase of a HT so I have no idea what are the pitfalls & what I should watch out for.

I shall be grateful if the members can help me on how to verify that the HT is perfect condition & what is the price I should pay

Thanks for advising

Check this Cnet review Onkyo HT-S3200 Overview & Specs - Home Theater Systems - CNET Reviews

It may worth 3-5 K

If that used 3200 is in good working condition go for it. If you dont have any budget constraints, the go with the new 3400. The 3200 does not have HDMI ver 1.4a. When you connect your DVD/BD player using a HDMI, then you need to tap the audio using a optical or a coax.

He is asking for 15K & not ready to reduce the price at all.

So I am being taken for a ride ?

15k for the used one???
It is better to go for a new one instead. Just need 2 increase ur budget a bit.

Hey shravank30,

I agree with Siva1306. If money is a constraint then, I would say it should be between 12-13K if it looks and feels real good. Else, as suggested by Ajay_k73 check out the prices at your place for the new ones.

I had been quoted 12K for a used 3300 though i did not got it.
15K is too high for a 2 year old HTiB which is not in market now. Owner enjoyed the Warranty period. Cheapest onkyo available in market now is 17-18K.
I would say anything around 10K will be good

 

[shravank30]

Thanks for the advice

The seller has gone silent for the past few days.
Not responding
Will offer him 10K if he responds & see how it goes.
Will not go above 10K, as advised by the members, as the item is quite dusty as seen from the photos
Thanks for advising
