Any reason why I should or shouldn't buy these kind of products.....

This my friend found & looks like a GREAT DEAL----> LINK

 

this should be in the audio section.

Factory Refurb means it has been used and malfucntioned or was damaged at some point and repaired by the manufacturer. So it may work like new.

Sometimes electrical equipment are refurbished at some unknown facility in which case the reliablity can be questioned, especially on ebay.

 

sometimes its ok to by refurbrished stuff.. because..

if that particular model has a defect.. it has been fixed by the manufacturer.. where as a new one might still have the problem..

its like buying a 2k automatic that already has the solenoid problem fixed.. where as buying one that still has the problem

 

thanks maxin & sprint I understand this better now....
quick question though, In cars its one thing to buy a car w/ a fixed problem but would u recommend buying a refurbished Headunit?

 

TV.. $700 Refurbrished 36" Wega Sony KV-36FV300

http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTE...m3txA7&Dept=tv

got it with a 2 year extended warranty from Sony..

 

i am not telling you to buy refurbrished.. but its a risk you take

 

aight cool....i'll just decide on my own gut feeling then

BTW: Sweeeet TV

 

thanks

she is a little too big for my bedroom.. might have to do some re-orging..

 

Try to find out what was fixed with it...alot of stores don't know.

 

Sweet TV sprint! I've got a Proscan 36" in my bedroom also, but it gets lost in there. I got mine for $200

 

 

if your going to save a significant amount of money buying a refurb and its still covered under the factory warranty, i'd say go for it!. But if its going to be a 20-30 dollar difference, i'd still go for something brand new.

 

Sprinty I have the same TV but not sure if same model.

 

well here's some other places i saw this for good price--->

$1255 for Refurbished

$1300 for Brand New <---I'm going to call this place & make sure this is for a Brand New & NOT a refurbished product

<---found that place on www.streetprices.com

 

while we're on the topic..... never buy open box! what many people do are they just buy something new, and put something old back into the old box and just return it (personal experience )

 

hey Kpazzo6, Im also looking at getting one of those pioneer setups in my car excapt im looking at the 7480 which comes with the 8000 brain. Try etronics.com, they have some great prices and claim on the site that they do not sell used or refurbished stuff, only new. Anyone deal with them at all? They have the 7490 for 1400 new. Lemme know what u find out and what u decide to do because im lookin around too. thanks man.

There's a difference between manufacturer refurbished and factory refurbished. Factory refurbished doesn't exclusivly mean it was refurbished by the origonal manufacturer. I've seen cases of refurbished stuff being sold and it wasn't reconditioned by the origonal manufacutrer you may want to make sure its OEM refurbished and warrentied.

 

I saw that site too @ www.streetprices.com ....I'm waiting to hear from this one guy locally on how much he can get if for me for. If its alot more then on the net, i'll let u know what site i buy mine off.
