I buy electronics used all the time. If they are unacceptable, then you just call Amazon. I bought an iPod Suffle used and it's fine. Back when I sold my old IPod, it was perfectly fine, but they had just came out with the video iPods and I got one as a graduation gift. Really no need for two regular iPods, so I sold my old one because the video one was cooler. I got the iPod Shuffle because it's lighter and easier to clip to my shirt when I exercise. My advise? Be VERY aware of exactly what the description says. If it says it's scratched, but works well, then you don't get to be ticked off when it's scratched when it arrives. They TOLD you it was scratched. Also, pay close attention to the seller's rating. Do not buy from anyone who has less than a 94% customer rating. If you do, then look to see why people gave them a low rating. Often, it's just that the item took too long to ship, which in the scheme of things isn't a big deal when saving a ton of money. Just make sure it doesn't say "Item broken, tried to return it but the guy wouldn't respond" kind of comments. You are protected to a certain extent under Amazon.com when you buy from individual sellers.

First off....I'm 'New' item buyer....I shy away from 'Used' products...That's just me. Secondly, I would evaluate the cost of the insurance (protection plan)....add that to your price....that basically is the cost of your item. If you are comfortable with that...go for it. Insurance (Protection Plan) is something that is good to have.....better if you never need to use it, because of the inconvenince. Good Luck.

Used Like new most times means open box unit and seller cannot place marketing price on it anymore. Simple! I only buy Used like new because it is way cheaper and has 0.0001% difference from brand new.. i bought a 54" plasma used like new and it was in original everything..prolly some customer opened it and put it back in the box..lol..thanks warehouse!!I know this is a very old post..but for people still wondering in 2011 here you go..

I bought mine used from Amazon. It should had been discarded instead of resold there for I believe there was no inspection before reselling the coffee maker. This is why I say buy new

No. Its no longer made and not sold in stores anymore so online will be your only option. And since there are fewer and fewer of them, the prices will go up too, unless you can find a good used one.

I bought mine new and it wasn't broken. I've been using it for almost 6 months. By using I mean it's been in my trunk and I put groceries luggage and a stroller on it over that time period and it hasn't chipped or broken. I'm sure that if you twist and bend it or drop something heavy on the corner it could chip. I did expect it to be more "rubbery" or "vinyl-ly", but it is actually more "plastic-cy". But in using it, it hasn't really mattered much.

As far as I know, it is brand new (refurbished in the factory), but it does not have the full warranty. I got one in July and it`s working perfectly. I have other experiences with refurbished equipment and never had any problem. Maybe it`s interesting to contract a third-party warranty just as an addiitonal protection.

Other sites might sell for cheaper. You just have to look a little then but even on Amazon the used ones can be more expensive than the new ones, as it depends on the seller.

I purchased a used one that was listed. It had no warranty that I was aware of. but has worked great. I think you are protected in some way when you purchase through Amazon. Not sure where you are thinking of buying one from.

Yes. I love mine. My teenaged daughter wouldn't leave it alone, so I got her one. If it can withstand her abuse and still perform top quality, I would recommend it to anyone.

When i bought at the time, it was brand New. Refurbished means reconditioned. They get a used/malfunction product and give it a real treat. They should work ok and are less expansível.

No. Please make sure to buy a new one if you are looking for a new one. Do not buy a used one and think it is new.

It depends on the seller. I bought it from Amazon and it's a brand new one. Check each seller description.

I have had good experiences with refurbished devices. You should be aware that it may have slight rubs or marks on it. It has been used. So it may be better for your own personal use as opposed to a gift. However, I have bought refurbished that looked brand new and would challenge anyone to be able to tell it used refurbished.

My son, to whom this game belongs, says he doesn't think you can get one on a used game. Bear in mind, though, he is 13 and may not know what he is talking about. We have a used game store in our town. If it were me, I'd call that store and see if they had any advice - do you have anything like that where you live?

Hello Lynda , I bought a new one just because the price difference wasn't that great so I just went with new! I am sure if you want to save a couple of bucks you couldn't go wrong!

Do not use this product if been opened. I would be concerned cause I don't really trust ebay.. People that sell their things usally comes broken , or used not like new...Honestly, I would throw the bottle away or make a complain because if you get an infection or something, and you don't have proof who it came from, then that's a big issue. I would just recommend you bying this product here cause it actually comes from the ISO Company...
