Buying Port on eBay vs Best Buy

I’ve been looking recently at getting a Port to use in my office and bringing in my receiver and 5 disc CD changer -- probably going to add a TT as well.  I have a stero pair of Play:1’s in there and plan to add a sub next time I can get a reburb/open box or sale.  

The Port would help me even without the TT and I see them listed on eBay as “BRAND NEW, IN BOX” for $349.xx USD.  

What is the catch here?  How are they $100 off MSRP?  Closest I found to that was BB “open box - excellent” for $381.xx but it sold too quick.

Should I just pick one up off of eBay?  Is there a benefit to buying from BB over eBay?  Any other buying advice/tips?

Thanks!

Just buy it from Sonos and be done with it.  Whatever more it may cost you -- it will buy you peace of mind.  I bought all my Sonos stuff directly from Sonos (including my Port).  No middle men.

    Appreciate all replies!  I hadn’t considered Amazon (used) but I’ll look there next time.  I love Crutchfield!  I didn’t know they sold Sonos open box.  I have a $14 points credit there.  Still puts the open box port higher than the BB one :(  

    Best Buy seems to be turning out the open box ports quickly.  They’ll be available for shipping… then they won’t…. the next day, they are again.   I can only think they’re going through that stock so hopefully it’s not old and it’s actually in Excellent condition as they mention.  Maybe we’ll see…
