Default Re: Refurbished Goods

I would be very cautious buying a refurbished TV online due to the huge hassle it will be to get it serviced and repaird if you need to return it.

I believe that a huge number of refurbished sellers just take returned goods, check if it basically works, and then try to sell it again. In many cases, people wind up getting like-new products cheap, but you also might wind up getting a broken TV that no one fixed. The hassle is not worth it.

Also, I am shopping for TV's, and in my opinion, older models are selling for a lot less because they are far inferior quality. If pixelation, stairstepping, rainbow, and screen door effects don't bother you, buy something used or refurbished without seeing it.

If you really want to see quality movies though, I haven't seen anything worthwhile for under $2k. If you find something, let me know.
