New vs. Refurbished

Many people ask me about refurbished(used) products all the time. Refurbished computers for example have different meanings. If you see a great deal on a computer in a retail store for refurbished computers this can save you a great deal of cash depending on the price. Refurbished in a retail store means the product was opened and returned or it was fixed by the manufacturer from a defect. Most people cannot tell the difference. The computer usually comes with all the parts and accessories. The key is making sure you understand the warranty period. A warranty can be 90 days or the remainder of the manufacturer's standard 1 year warranty. Be sure to do your homework or consult with a professional. I like to look at certain refurbished products because you can save anywhere from $50 to $100 off the product. If the manufacturer is reputable then I may take a shot on purchasing the product. Several years ago I purchased a 60 inch flat screen TV refurbished for less than $1100. The TV was 1040p HD and came with everything in the box. Watching the news is better on 60 inches. The TV had a 6 month warranty I believe. Well let's just say I had my first issue 4 years later. I thought the issue was going to be major but with a little research I found the part for less than $50 online and a internet video on how to fix it myself. So in this case refurbished was a good deal for me. So lets talk computers. I have also had some success in this area as well as failures. The key is how much you want to save versus spend. With the right help you can be a winner and walk away with some extra money for things like GAS. In closing seek a professional because the deal for refurbished could be Good or Bad.
