Here's two head units and i'm thinking of buying one of them. Help me decide, i know that the pioneer should be better, but panasonic has a colour screen. Pioneer goes up to 22rms and panasonic has only 18watts

panasonic is very easy to use, but the amplifier inside isn't very strong.

pioneer to me feels very cheap, yet it's also very hard to use.

i say go for a eclipse cd 3000.

Pioneer over Panasonic.

But I still would never buy from eBay

The Pioneer would be the lesser of two grave evils in this case

That's hardly the main issue...small business? Are you serious?

The main issue is the integrity of the product, being that it is electronic.

I have bought stuff on there before, but it was actually older things. Had they been available new from an authorized dealer, that would have been my first choice. A while back I wanted to get an Alpine processor, a PXA-H600. Those were kind of hard to get, they had stopped making them. I ended up getting it from a guy in Australia. If you can find it authorized, that is the way to go. You know you are getting exactly what you want, not some gray market item.

I'd only buy something on ebay if you can't find it anywhere else. Also beware of some online retailers. Many/most of them are not "authorized", so the manufacturer won't honor a warranty if bought from those sort of places. Caveat emptor!
