Onkyo 502 for $99 or wait for better

[ChaoticDismay]

hey guys,

its me again. i see that the onk 502 is $99 at frys. should i jump on this for my entry level/first receiver or should i wait for a good deal on harmon audio for say an avr 135 for around 210 shipped. or should i even wait for something else.

now when i say wait i dont mean play the waiting game, everything will be cheaper that way. im saying for the summer since i go back to school/apartment in mid august.

thanks for all inputs

Why are you posting here, for $99 jump now! Go, Go, Go!

No crap, well said spacecowboy :)

I got the 503 and love it but for about $150 less I could have had the 502? No question in my book. And I am sure it will blow away any other reciver for even twice that price.

too bad i have to work at 3 and i dont think i can make it in time :( illl call up there and check maybe i can speed

If you are sure you want it then call them and give them a credit card number either for a deposit or just for the whole thing. Then pick it up tomorrow.

bah, i called up there and no more. plus i saw this on FatWallet and it was for indianapolis market. he said no pricematching since thats not the same market :( sigh

called my local Fry's here in Atlanta, and regular price is $199...no sale price.

I've seen 1 day sales for 502s at Frys for $149, but normally they start at $299. When the 503s came out they started slashing the price. FYI about 10 days ago Ubid had some refurbed 602s for $238. That is an awesome deal.
