Question

When you buy any kind of electronics, is it ok to buy it refurbished?

Answer 1

Refurbished electronics are usually great buys.  I used to work for an electronics company, and a lot of time the product was as good as new, it was just returned back to the store and couldn't be sold as new.

Answer 2

Everything I've heard says that it is

I'm not sure I would do it though

Answer 3

Oh sure, as long as you get it from a reliable resource
