just curious have you ever bought a refurbed piece of electronic?

i'm wondering cause i did once and it never gave me a problem. had a hp scanner from staples. got it for less than 30 dollars and it worked great. nothing missing looked brand new and everything..and never conked out.

now i got an all in one scanner i got a few christmas' back. it's a cannon i hate it. if i ever replace it i'm gonna get an epson just like the one printer i had the first time i ever had a comp.

it was a suggestion from a guy my dad knew who knows about computers and he was right.

this time it got to be an all in one. i woulda done it a long time ago but again this cannon was a gift but i'm getting tired of it.

so i'm just wondering how do you like refurbished items as electronics? and what do you think?

I was thinking about getting a itouch off of amazon. It seems legit not only does the seller offer a warranty but so does amazon. Seems like a legit deal to me.

yea if you get refurbished electronics. you might as well spend a lil to get it under warranty in case. you might spend an extra twenty but if it ever craps out you got back up.

if i would suggest getting anything used i wouldn't go to a best buy though that's like most peoples only option and a lot of people don't know wtf their doing to their shit and don't take care of it in the first place.

you see people in their customer service department with no clue trying to get their shit fixed.

also i wouldn't get a used t.v. or computer any day. they try to pull that sale shit in the paper ads and won't either tell you what brand it is or when you get there it's a store display.

fuck that.
