Massdrop... I guess you just do not care about your brand at all! You might as well give up on offering tech or get even more shady and remove discussions, because some people do research before making a purchase and when we find GARBAGE like this we will call it out... and your team looks stupid.
As @aberusugi said "This is literally the retail price on a product that came out 12 years ago"
I don't say nice try Onkyo... I say SHAME ON YOU Massdrop! Why would you even let this appear on your site? On Onkyo's website the MRSP shows the EXACT same amount, so where is the drop... to make things worse:
Both are IN STOCK and are $280.09 https://www.frys.com/product/8144655?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
***Removed my B&H link due to incorrect product being postetd.***
Just what a shame you even post something like this...
HappyNemI apologize. For some reason the note section did not get published to the drop stating the following.
Note: The drop price listed is the Minimum Advertised Price set by the manufacturer. Massdrop is not allowed to advertise a lower price than the MAP price.   At checkout you will be able to apply a coupon for (-$140) towards your purchase.  Limited quantities are available. 
That coupon was available at checkout when the drop laucnhed. However unless you went to checkout it was missed.
Sorry about that. The Note about the coupon has been placed on the drop now.
Cheers. @aberusugi
HappyNemOh, and your link to B&H photo is for a totally different product. You linked the SKS-HT690 which is a 5.1 system. Not the product we are offering here. Your Fry's link is correct but we are beating them in price.

Tex-ArozziHey B.Hutch,
I'm pretty sure that coupon was not an option when I made that post.. Ever since I looked like a idiot posting about a drop price and then having the "posting lower than the MRSP not being allowed" pointed out to me.. I always check for that first. However, I can not say 100% sure it was not there, but better be sure I'll always check going forward.
Now that is out of the way, can you comment on why Massdrop does not check other sites before they post a drop? I mean this particular drop is $20 off the lowest published in stock price with shipping, but there is a 3 week lead time on the item... not really much of deal. The fact this product is an ancient in tech life (12 years old) and is not available from 99% of the authorized Onkyo dealers (discontinued?) ... does not really help the massdrop name.
Doesn't the lack of consumer interest in a drop and comment threads like this damage the Massdrop reputation for the customer, as well as the faith a manufacture has in Massdrop to move products?
I really think that Massdrop has some really great drops from time to time in all of their areas, but sometimes... you guys just post trash... and looking at more and more of these comments on various drops, I feel like that belief is expanding. Maybe I'm not clear what the goal Massdrop is, or perhaps it has changed over time to something else.
