<p>what are the pros and cons of buying refurbished products? or used products?</p>
<p>like a refurbished mp3 player</p>
<p>pros: cheaper price
cons: may be a "lemon", but usually not.</p>
<p>dont you think refurbished means working, its never a lemon. you should buy everything refurbished, it doesnt make sense to buy stuff new becuase once you open it the price goes down atleast 10%. nothing will be wrong and if it is take it back to the store</p>
<p>The type of refurbishing depends on the company. I would NEVER buy refurbished because it is of lower quality. There's usually a very good reason that the product was returned...and it's not because it was working great.</p>
<p>It does mean working, but in my experience, sometimes when a product goes back for repair, it could be the first of many things that go wrong with it. It always depends on the company standing behind it.</p>
<p>its "working"... but working crappily</p>
<p>like ur cd player will "run" but skip a lot</p>
<p>Correct. Refurbished products also normally have a shorter lifespan.</p>
