Need help!! Decision time: Yamaha RX-V3000

Ok guys and gals. I have the chance to pick up a Yamaha RX-V3000 reciever. However, what is a fair asking price for it?

Also, if I do get it, I will be selling my other 2 recievers, just because I won't have room anymore Keeping the same question in mind, would the RX-V3000 be an upgrade to my Onkyo TX-DS787 or Yamaha DSP-A1000??? I'm not concerned with features, just great sound. If either my A1000 or the 787 are better models to stick with, let me know.

I think we pretty much know the TX-SR787 stands no chance. The poor amplifier design and crap analog section pretty much closes the casket for the Onkyo. Surround sound on the RX-V3000 will run circles around the DSP-A1000. The power on the DSP-A1000 should be about the same as the RX-V3000 for stereo.

Good luck.
