Refurbish?

[raiserblade2003]

hi, i was wondering what refurbish is? is it just ppl returning there stuff cuz they dont like it. or does that include none working item?

im asking becuz i saw a refurbish chaintech ti4800se on newegg for only $90. can i trust getting it? or could there be some problem w/ it. they have only a 15 days warrenty on refurb item.

the reg. ti4800se is 148. so im saving like $60 if i get the refurbish.

so what do u ugys think?

Although that is a good price, I have heard that you should NOT by refurbished Video Cards, at all.

Just what I have heard from the community I hang out with over at amdmb.com

I dont know about video cards, but i bought a refurbished HP computer for about $400 , and it was actually pretty good. From what i herd, they replaced old and damaged parts with new working ones and resold it for cheaper. Anyway i sold that computer for $800 and got my seld a nice gaming pc. =]

yea but for vid card if it doesnt work , they cant really replace ne thing. so would newegg still sell a non funtional refurb card?

They could have had one that was sent back, not knowing that the guy that had it OC&#39;ed the hell out of it, started to have intermitten problems, so he RMA&#39;ed it.

oh well, its sold out ne way....but i found a 9600 non-pro for 85

or a ti4200 128mb for 80.

7 ppl review the 9600 refurb card at newegg and they said they all worked perfectly

which one would u choose outa those 2
