+waterwitch2 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 What's your guys opinion on "refurbished" GPS's? Quote Link to comment
+The Jester Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Never had a GPSr, but I've used a refurbished PDA that did me good for a couple of years (I still have it, it's my backup unit). Quote Link to comment
+IVxIV Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) Refurbished typically means the device has been inspected by the factory & confirmed OK, and they will often sell the device with a warranty, for a lot less money than new. Nothing wrong with refurbished products Edited November 16, 2007 by IVxIV Quote Link to comment
+road_rascal Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I bought a refurbished/ reconditioned Garmin 2610 Streetpilot a few years ago from TigerGPS and it works great. It looks brand new. Even the packaging looked brand new. Quote Link to comment
gratefulHIKE Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 when buying most of my products I prefer refurbished if offered, because they are reinspected at tougher credentials, and I will definitely buy the product if it offered the same warranty for less money Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 "Refurbished" also implies that any worn parts (e.g., a scratched screen) are replaced with new components. I see refurb units as potential good deals. Quote Link to comment
Alphawolf Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 (edited) Well...At least for Garmin refurbs., they have an identical warranty to a regular GPS...So, what do you have to lose? Edited November 18, 2007 by Alphawolf Quote Link to comment
