Record low price for a new Sony X90K 65" TV, unless you want to hold out for Boxing Day sales. Sony have just dropped their eBay price yesterday.

AS NEW: This item may have damaged carton. It is an unused & undamaged item in its original packaging.

Past OB comments indicate that Sony "Box Damaged" are indeed new, sometimes with damaged looking packaging.
There are more than 10 available in this instance which make me wonder if they are all truly "Box Damaged", or Sony's backdoor way of undercutting the retail stores šŸ˜‰ Your guess is as good as mine.

    I bought the X90j 75" a year or so ago via Sony's ebay factory seconds. It was essentially perfect apart from maybe a few scratches on the box. Zero regrets.

      Curious, How much was it?
      I paid full price for mine

      • Buy2Much on 24/12/2022 - 14:50

        Oh wait, why are you still on OB if you pay full price for anything? šŸ˜‰

      • t3chshopper on 24/12/2022 - 16:15

        Just over $2,000 delivered. I think it was a good deal for a 75" at the time.

    Pro-tip…. it's probably not damaged, they just can't sell 'new stock' per terms of their agreements with their vendor partners.

        Yep, still DHL. They're the reson for all the box-damaged stock cropping up every now and then. We should send them a Christmas card.

    I bought a box damaged Sony x90k 75" from eBay during black friday
    The screen was shattered and I am still in the process of returning it.
    They picked it up from my house 9 days ago and allegedly it still hasn't reached their warehouse so they won't release replacement.
    Working theory is that a forklift ran into the box, and they checked the polystyrene which was in tact, but didn't bother checking the screen which was shattered.

    All in all good savings to be had, but there is a reason why Sony is only 95%~ approval rating. Good luck!

      In many instances Sony won't ever touch their stock. Usually unpacked from a shipping container by a 3PL (Third Party Logistics) fulfilment service that distribute products direct to retailer. Sony generate or raise the retailer orders with the 3PL with details of what, when and where to ship. On behalf of Sony, the 3PL will also handle logistics of faulty returns and replacement product, once Sony approve the RA (Return Authority).

      Sony make better non OLED TVs though.

  • Viospeed on 24/12/2022 - 14:50

    Not worth the risk of getting damaged boxed items. Good luck if you decide to go ahead with it.

    • klaatu on 24/12/2022 - 15:05

      Most of the time it's end of line product where there is not enough stock to distribute in any quantity. Most retailers stay away from the bits and pieces left over stock due to its inconsistent availability. A typical manufacturing marketing ploy as "may have slightly damaged carton" sounds much better than old tech, soon to be superseded last years model dialogue. Many consumers think they are picking up a great deal on a current TV, before word circulates the next models are improved with added features for the same RRP of the box damaged older model. I bought a box damaged Sony Soundbar and there absolutely no marks on the carton at all and was still factory sealed so it wasn't a refurb. 3 Months later a new improved model released with better specs for the same RRP as my outdated model, but no concern or significant difference between the two.
      But older models still perform well and you do really save some good cash on the purchase.

    What risk? They are still covered by warranty…

      Are you the one that down voted me and then asked what risk? What about the risk of actually receiving a damaged TV and then Sony denying all accountability?

      Let me point you to this thread:

        Nope. Are you one that makes wild assumptions?

        What about the risk of actually receiving a damaged TV and then Sony denying all accountability?

        That's why we have laws that protect consumers and courts to enforce those laws. Been there, done that, it's nothing to be afraid of…

      You obviously haven't heard of all the horror stories of Sony delivering damaged TVs then insisting the customer did it and not refunding, happened countless times

    Why is everyone so concerned about a damaged product? The box is damaged that doesnā€™t mean the warranty goes out the window..

    • klaatu on 24/12/2022 - 15:09

      100% doobey. Box damaged is all good in the majority. It's the refurb model where the risk is high. Never a guarantee the fix applied is the actual problem. Then the PIA or sending stuff back a second or third time. Refurbs are a real lottery and never usually much of a saving if they constantly fail.

      • xseta on 24/12/2022 - 15:25

      The extra potential mess around having to ship the item back for replacement may not be worth ~$100 saving for some innit.

      • klaatu on 24/12/2022 - 15:17

        You may still receive a faulty new in box RRP product too. The risk is the same regarding faulty new or box damaged. Though I do see what you are saying, but electronics are a real lottery, especially something as big as a flat panel TV.

      • doobey1231 on 24/12/2022 - 18:00

        That risk is still there whether the box is damaged or not.

        • r3volt on 24/12/2022 - 23:42

          The risk is increased if the box is damaged.

          • doobey1231 on 24/12/2022 - 23:44

            @r3volt: Depends on the damage, but they wouldn't be selling it if the boxes structural integrity was compromised.

      What is difference between Sony XR65X90J and Sony XR65X90K

      Objective summary from RTings.com:

      The Sony X90K is the successor to the Sony X90J, and it's not worth the upgrade if you already have the X90J or if you're deciding between the two TVs. The main difference is that the X90J has a better local dimming feature, resulting in less blooming around bright objects, meaning the overall picture quality is better on the X90J. However, if you're a gamer, the X90K is the better choice and has a wider 1080p VRR range.

    Happy buyer of a "box damaged" Sony TV here. Couldn't even tell where the box was damaged!

    • getit on 24/12/2022 - 19:18

      So could be another way of promotion and not upset previous buyer?

      • x d on 24/12/2022 - 22:27

        Maybe. When I bought mine, I thought it was the last unit according to the Ebay entry. But checking back a day or so later, the entry was still there and they keep finding a few more "box damaged" units for sale! So probably a method as you say…

        Mine was a 55".i think I paid 1350.

      • x d on 25/12/2022 - 01:04

        Just as an addendum: I was still cautious when I opened the box though. Had my daughter video recorded on my phone the whole upboxing from start to finish to make sure the screen was not damaged. Completely new.

    • Buy2Much on 24/12/2022 - 19:46

      XR65X90K is Sony middle tier Full Array Local Dimming TV, whereas KD65X75K is entry tier frame dimming TV (read inferior tech).

      • paloverde88 on 24/12/2022 - 22:51

        yes the KD means Katijah model

      • doobey1231 on 24/12/2022 - 23:45

        I wouldn't say middle, its one step down from the top - X95K which isn't available in Australia as I can tell so that kinda makes this the top offering from Sony that isn't OLED

        • Buy2Much on 25/12/2022 - 00:53
          -1

          IMHO Iā€™d generally consider OLED series as the top tier for Sony. FALD series the middle tier, then frame dimming series the entry level.
          P.s. X95k series are indeed on sale in Australia.

            @Buy2Much: Thatā€™s why i said ā€œthat isnā€™t oledā€. Theyā€™re completely different and shouldnā€™t really be compared without noting the clear category(and price) difference.

            Yes, the x95k is indeed on sale in Australia, however within the context of this post - the 65 inch version is not. Iā€™m not going to mention a 70 inch tv thatā€™s more than 2x the price of whatā€™s posted, the same way Iā€™m not mentioning oleds on a post about a full array dimming set up.

            Context is super important at the end of the day.
