Refurbished Products (Your opinion)

rox1co · 01-29-2006, 09:57 PM

have you or someone you know purchased a Refurbished product

would you say it was a good deal or did something happen and it crapped out

i try to find reviews about Refurbished Products such as Video Cards but i hardly find any

would you go for a Refurbished Product or rather Brand New (or perhaps Used knowing that there was no problem for the 1st guy, so hopefully there won't be any for you)

ps. i plan on purchasing a X1800XL All In Wonder for $319 at Newegg.com but i'm having second thoughts, thanks for all your replies

i know all the Warranty regulations and the savings compared to buying Brand New

I buy refurbished all the time unless its a motherboard, in which case there's too many accessories missing. It's a matter of if the cost difference is worth the risk of it crapping out to you.

the refurbished items have really good warrenty,
so i thought it was pretty good way to save up like $50~$100...

My mobile phone was refurbished... Never once have I had a problem. No cosmetic or hardwares damages could I see, either

My point is don't buy refurbish. It will end up bad. Like for example one time i had an paintball ion and it ate my smoke revey. The hopper won't come off the feedneck.

I think when buying refurbished stuff, you need to pick a reputable company. A company like Newegg isn't going to sell you crap or else they will loose their reputation. On the other hand, if the company doesn't have a good rep in the first place, they could care less if they give you crap.
