Panasonic in dash touch screen.. $500 in Philly area (tweeter goin out of business)

Well, I was in Phily this weekend, and there was a tweeter there being closed down, everything is 30% off, some have additional discounts... there car audio selection was limited to whatever was left, few nice items, 1 panasonic (I did not get model number, but I got some specs) in dash dvd/cd reciever with a touch screen and what I am assuming is a external DSP/EQ package for $700, and then there was a panasonic reciever only (same model) for $500, originally marked as $1599... I am kicking myself for not buying it... however.. I keep telling myself... mortgage first then toys

It was there as of Sat, these are open box display models, I assume still have factory warrenty, its the 1 on the Boulavard (spelling?? its route 1) near a toys are us, lowes or home depot, balis, and a champs (I think, I dont live in the area, was visiting sister), however, they have a number of nice head units left that would make great inputs for a carputer (I am planing on a mac mini once I have money)

Not sure of the inputs though, I am trying to build my system with as little modification to the dash as possible.

The dealer prices on those units is about $400 anyway Car stereo markup is just plain insane and I am amazed people actually pay retail.

I work for retailers. Insane markup isn't relegated to car stereo or electronics in general.
Retailers mark up merchandise to pay their overhead (rent, bills, promotions, advertising, supplies, etc.). It's the nature of the business.
You want to avoid markup, get yourself a reseller's license and purchase goods with that. Don't be surprised when the IRS comes down on you, though. I've seen it happen.
