all day long you can pick up the 773 and the 883 on ebay for $150 to $180 you paid retail. My deck retails for $900 I got it for $650 on ebay right after it came out 2 years ago.(still going for $550 on ebay). That's why I love ebay so much

Also I hope you didn't pay $250, retail on that deck is $250, the 883 retail is $280. If you got it at the goodguys or somethig take it back and demand a refund, especially if you paid $350
