I know where at least 10 of them wound up - Ebay. I bought one for a
kitchen TV from a seller who was selling Insignia models for around $24,
with free shipping. He said in the listing that he had 10. When I got
it,(reasonably fast shipping, too) it had obviously been tried out. The
battery was in the remote, the converter wasn't in the bag, and it
didn't automatically go to the setup menu when I hooked it up. All I had
to do was run the setup again, and set my preferences where I wanted
them, and it works fine. I have no idea why it was returned. I wouldn't
hesitate to buy another if I wanted one.

<shrug> I haven't had a problem yet. Everything I've purchased from Ebay
has performed as described. Sometimes you have to be very careful when
you read those descriptions.
