Refurb Mania

[jflan]

There are some prices here that would almost make me want to roll the dice:
15-day warranty.

I've dealt with mwave and they have been good, thus far.

Probably the one thing I would not even think about buying refurbished. I have enough trouble with retail box.

Warranty replacements are all refurb units and I have had bad nic, bad sound, and sometimes just no booting at all.

At least with those they KNOW they were sending a part for replacement and the fight for warranty was mute.

Now if you are BUYING refurb (and with a 15 day warranty remember that is from the time of PURCHASE, not necessarily date of RECEIVING from shipment) - you are over the barrel from the start since they will only have to point the fingers back to you.

This is just away of getting garbage off the shelf and not having to worry about ever having to deal with the parts or the customer again - plus putting some bucks back in the coffer.
