I've been looking at getting a new phone at a good price, and was wondering your thoughts on purchasing refurbished phones?!

Would you reccomend it?!

Answer 1

I wouldn't.

Answer 2

Personally I dont like buying used electronics. Paying full price or a little more on ebay for an unopened box is usually worth it since electronics come with factory warrenty!
