Several years ago I bought a pair mission rear speakers from ebay. The new model had a small wood strip on the front of the speaker for design purposes. The old model didn't. New in store the speakers run $700 and I got previous year model for $230.

I only have one other ebay experience in which I was bidding on a 1025C GL3. The system neglected to let me know there was another bidder and I lost the bid. Win some lose some.
