Say what refurbished means
Tell a properly refurbished device from one that is merely secondhand.
Refurbished means a device went back to the seller, was tested, repaired and sold again with a guarantee.
Who did the checking is the whole question. Makers, networks and named stores put it in writing.
Key points
- Refurbished means tested, repaired and sold again with a guarantee
- Who gave the guarantee, and for how long, is what it is worth
What to remember
- The guarantee is what the word is worth.
- Refurbished is only as good as the guarantee behind it.
