what is the meaning of refurbished?

As others pointed out, this camera was refurbished by the manufacturer to restore it to new condition and provides a warranty with all accessories. These are things you look for when buying a refurbished product.

My understanding is that refurbished cameras have been returned to Nikon for reasons varying from not functioning properly to the purchaser deciding they did not want the camera after all. Nikon fixes defects and returns the cameras to like new condition before reselling them. I have enjoyed my refurbished D3200 which looked brand new when I received it. I have been so pleased that I just ordered another refurbished lens for it through Amazon and am waiting for it to arrive. I think buying refurbished is a great way to save a few bucks to use on more camera gear.

I buy all my photo equipment and power tools "Refurbished" whenever it is available. The reason is that the refurbished item is inspected and tested in every way before it is offered back to the public. I have never received a refurbished item that had any issues mechanically or cosmetic. On the other hand, I have frequently had to return "New" items for not working as they should. For me, Refurbished is BETTER than new.

The camera was either returned for a malfunction or traded in but in both cases Nikon technicians went over the camera and made it like new for much less than the original price. Having owned a D3000, I wanted to upgrade to a D3200, so for me it was a perfect fit.

Repaired to new condition usually with same warranty a new one comes with but priced for less! Save money buying refurbished!

I'm not sure about a refurbished, but I've bought new from HP and they always throw that in.

I don't know but if it's offered on the item, I would think it would. Most of the time, refurbished simple means it's returned. There is a spot by the item description that explains refurnished. This is Overstock; I've never had trouble with returns. They are fantastic. I hope I helped you. I never buy any electronics, on-line or at a store, without a protection plan.

I think it's the same thing as refurbished. For some reason these failed QC or were returned to the factory, were fixed and are getting sold back. I almost always buy refurbished because the item is cheaper and has been tested better than a regular item. The blender came factory packaged seemed brand new and works perfectly, I'm pretty happy with it.

Other than the packaging I was not able to tell the difference between refurbished and new. The unit was clean and functional, and looked like it hadn't ever been used.

Used is just that, someone is selling one they have previously used. A refurbished one has been tweaked by the factory or a certified dealer. Buy the refurbished.

it was brand new and not refurbished; at least the one I purchased. I am very happy with it. I am not convinced it was the absolute best price .. but I am happy with it.

Mine is refurbished, but you wouldn't know to look at it and it behaves wonderfully! Huge bargain!

Yes. The only difference between a refurbished and a non-refurbished is that the former had a problem which was fixed. Everything else is the same.

The guarantee of a factory refurbished item is the same as a new item. There is no change in guarantees between a factory refurbished item and a new item.

Refurbished units are almost always good deals. Except for an insert statement indicating that my 340S was a refurbed unit, it looked brand new. Note that most recent map updates are not part of the refurbed package, but then I avoid the hassle and hazards of such downloads anyway. For the basic purpose of getting from point A to point B such updates are of little value to the vast majority of users.

Mine purchased about two months ago was stated as new, and looked new (in box, tagged, new smell...). There was nothing that suggested it was refurbished. I love it, works great.

I believe there were papers that said refurbished on them..for warranty & such

The one I got my wife was new. If it's refurbished item I think the description should say that. For what it's worth the camera we got is great.

Refurbished is sometimes better than new. For the price I took my chance and it paid off.

My understanding is that remanufacturing is the same as refurbished: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refurbishment_%28electronics%29. Mine looked and acted like new when I received it.
