What is a Refurbished Product?
At
times we have sample products, display products, damaged in transit
products or end of line products that we want to make available for a
better price. We have our technical support team test these products,
check that the carton contains all the necessary cables and booklets,
replace any needed parts - and then we make them available under the Buy
Refurbished link on the product page.
What condition is it in?
We
will only sell these products if they are in a "like new" condition.
That means that at the most they may have some damage on the cardboard
carton, or perhaps a mark on the case of the unit that is not on the
front panel. However in most situations they will actually look totally
brand new, it is just that they were used for a display unit or sample
product and so we won't sell them as brand new.
What is the warranty on a Refurbished Product?
We
offer the same 12 month warranty on our refurbished products. The only
thing we don't cover in the warranty is the fact that there may be some
slight mark on the product. However the reduced price easily compensates
for this.
Should I buy new or refurbished?
If
you only like brand new products - just buy brand new. If you are not
worried about a mark on the back of your product, but would rather save
dollars - buy refurbished. You still have the same warranty as those who
buy brand new, but you paid less.
