Refurbished Items
I noticed that i come across the term "refurbished" quite a lot recently, and tried to check it out what it means. From Googling it, I think I know what it roughly means - an item which was previously repaired. But there is a contradiction which does not fully make sense to me.
Refurbished items are fixed, certified and guaranteed that they are 100% functional. Yet, they are being sold cheaper than the same items which are in "New" condition.
For instance, the Logitech VX Nano mouse goes around $30-$40 on ebay as refurbished.
The same item, but "New", goes for $60 in the states and a bit more here. But here's the thing: if it says new, doesn't it mean that it may have problems as the other mice had? In other words, the Refurbished one is guaranteed to work, and the New one might get refurbished on your expense.
Please tell me where I am wrong.
