Re: Is refurbished really better than new?

I have seen some people say that refurbished electronics items are

fixes a broken item, they test it more than they would test a new

You can often get a much higher quality product at a reduced rate though slightly used, still have more life left than a cheaper new item.
Other times you get a lower quality product at fire side sale prices that may be at the end of it's life.
