I have never tried buying any Refurbished products like Smartphone laptop etc but I have seen most of the e-commerce websites selling these and this shows there is a demand for these products. There are things we cannot imagine buying it like the scratches on the product and possibly dents, signs of wear and tear etc. Have you ever purchased any Refurbished Electronics product online? How was the experience?

Factory refurbished products don't have scratches or dents. They're as good as new. Yes, I've bought one of my tablets that was refurbished by the manufacturer and I had no problem with it whatsoever. It's been about 4 or 5 years now and still works pretty decently. I had my own doubts too when I bought it as that was my first time getting a refurbished one, but looks like I got a good deal and made it safe.

4 to 5 years how? My brand new products work for 2 to 3 years max

@Butterfingers you have to trust me on this! Lol it's Samsung tablet and has held up pretty good. However it's not like it was extensively used all these years. We had other tablets as well so it was like an on and off thing.

Yes but very much it did not work as well as I thought it would for laptop. I would very much figured that it is due to the fact that it is cheap and quite dated. I kept it for another 2 months before I make a brand new purchase.

I was blinded by greed because the price is low. Oh well.

It's a risky affair and that's why I don't try it

@Butterfingers They are telling themselves and that is why price down if they not say then customer will also doubt why selling at such a low price. He also bought AC like this and outdoor of AC was also little damaged which one recover some but not completely.
