Any thoughts about ordering something REFURBISHED?

(1/4) > >>

javeryh:
I'm placing an order today for a Dell monitor and there is a $30 difference between a new one and a refurbed one ($219 v. $189).  Is there any reason why I shouldn't go with the refurb?  This will be for arcade use only.

Thanks!

refurbs usually only have a 30 or 90 day manufacturers warranty. A new one gets you at least a year.

My experience with things like monitors..... If it gets ya to 30 days you probably won't have any problems for what would be considered a normal lifetime of the product.

I love refurbs ive purchased a few sony vaio refurb laptops in the past a refurb dell monitor and a refurb dell axim and a few other things a refurb apple ipod. all of them are still running like the day i took em out of the box. I have no complaints on a refub product.

I've never had problems with refurbished products.  Frequently they are only returns that the original customer didn't want anyway.  Plus refurbished stuff is ususally checked over by a person instead of coming straight off the assembly line.
