Harmony 550 ($69) and 720 ($86) all in, shipped

[RedMosquito]

I've been watching for deals on Harmony 550 or 720 and ran across this guy selling them on eBay, looks like he's sold Harmony stuff before with good feedback. He is from China but whatever, I've ordered tons of stuff from Chinese sellers on eBay and never had a problem or charged duty or whatever.. Not sure about the warranty either, but Logitech has always been good when I've had to call them for replacement items (they replaced my 880 out of warranty last year). He also has free shipping.

I picked up a 720.

Win?

Considering you can get the 880 from Amazon.com for $80 US shipped, this seems like a warm deal at best to me.

I don't know about the 720, but stay away from the 550 and other similar models. The paint wears off on the rubber buttons pretty quickly (depending on how often you use it I guess). Also, even though the seller claims these are new, the description says there may be some small scratches on them and do not come with the original packaging, just the remote by itself.

And how do you propose to get this for $80 USD from Amazon.com, living in Canada?

He also has the 880 for $103 CAD shipped: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Logitech-Harmony-...3A1|240%3A1308

The cheapest I have seen the 880 in Canada is during the Dell Deals for $99 + TAX.

Thats a refurb

And the 720 is a very different remote from the 880 button layout wise.

I would rather the 720 then the 880 personally

Yeah, the buttons are raised and feel better on the 720 or 550, I am sick of the buttons on the 880.

I guess those didn't make it when they fell off the back of the truck or maybe the box got a bit soggy after floating at sea for a while.

Yeah sounds like refurb packaging? Looks like he just started selling these and there are 3 positive feedbacks for 890's he has sold.

I'm ready to pull the trigger.. anyone else?

For a refurb/opened package/install off the web/difficult return and warranty? That's tough.

Win for people if that doesn't matter.

Like I said, I ordered a 720 myself - don't let me be the only sucker here lol

Harmony 550 could go to $59 from time to time.

550 would be 69.99+ tax at amazon.ca using the 10 off coupon

I love the feel and look of the 550. Do the buttons really rub off that quickly? Too bad.
