6 Things to check before buying a Refurbished Electronic Product

In the next few minutes, I’ll tell you, what you need to check before buying a refurbished electronic product, it will be the only guide you’ll ever need.

Buying a good product that comes within the budget and is within the budget as well, is like dream come true, but with increasing costs, it looks like a dream only, but there needs to be a solution for this, isn't it, well guess what there is, refurbished products.

But as lucrative as it may sound at first, there's more to take into consideration before making a decision, one must be aware of the differences and risks associated with them, ignoring them could result in making a mistake, even buying a product that you didn't really want.

In this article, I’ll discuss 5 things you should check before buying a refurbished product. So, with that said, let’s get straight into the details.

Almost all of the problems get resolved if the product is coming directly from the brand, but if that’s not the case, then check for, who performed the refurb, it becomes crucial as not all refurbs are not done by the origital manufacturer.

If it is coming from a third party, then consider checking if is it a refurb or an open box return, basically, in an open box return, the product is not used and is returned due to some reason, which can be because the buyer didn’t want it, damaged packaging, and so on, you can avoid this point safely if the product is coming directly from the brand itself.

With a refurbished purchase, it is very likely that there will be no accessories, this question becomes more concerning if you decide to buy from a third party, and is less likely to arise if purchased directly from the brand.

Buying a refurbished product already comes with increasing chances of the product being faulty or damaged, don’t buy the products advertised as “as-is”, because they take away the warranty part, if a product starts, that doesn’t mean that it can go online, get a signal, etc.

Again, if buying from the brand, it’s highly likely you won’t notice any difference at all, that doesn't mean all refurbished products are the same, some might never be used, some might have a hard life, for instance, they got a checked screen which got replaced, if worth knowing what “like new” exactly means.

It takes time to identify the problems, and even if some accessories are missing, or you are not satisfied for some reason, you must be having an option to return the product at no cost, if the product doesn't come with free returns, don’t bother about it in the very first place.

The minimum can vary depending on product to product and vendor to vendor, but a six months warranty and a two-week return policy should be the bare minimum. (As per me).

It is likely that the seller might have stolen the product, and now is selling the stolen one, definitely, don't want someone else “stolen” product, getting a proper bill, ensures that the product is not stolen, one can also consider checking for proper accessories, but I had already discussed that above so won’t repeat it here again.

If you are someone who keeps buying refurbished products on a regular basis, then consider sticking to the same seller, each time you go with a different seller, you are inviting all the chaos again.

You are already getting a good discount on the original price, add the fact, that the most discount you will get is from websites you had never heard of. Remember one thing: If it sounds too good to be true, it really is.
