Open-box and refurbished: worth it?
Often a good saving, if the warranty and return policy are solid.
Open-box and refurbished items can cost much less than new. The key is knowing who refurbished it, and what warranty and return rights you get.
Check
- Who refurbished it: the manufacturer, the store or a third party
- The warranty length, compared with new
- The return window
- What's included: charger, cables, accessories
- The condition grade and what it means
