Bargain Bytes obtains devices from many different sources. Any device that comes in must be thoroughly checked over and tested, which gives it the “refurbished” label. In some cases, equipment comes in without even being used. More common reasons are due to cosmetic damage like dents or scratches, visible defects like a dead pixel, or broken optical drive that can be fixed, or business refreshes when a company upgrades their systems and replaces the previous items, even if they are in perfect condition.

The most obvious benefit of buying refurbished is the price, typically saving you between 10 to 50% off the new price. Beyond cost-saving, refurbished products actually go through a higher level of quality control, not just at a large facility overseas where it’s all about speed and quotas. With a refurbished product, it’s less a matter of quantity per day and more a matter of making sure it’s done right.

Although refurbished equipment is often stigmatized as faulty rejects, the devices we offer are repaired, reconditioned, and retested to be as good as new. Beyond checking for dents and functionality, we conduct rigorous testing and have a good reputation among customers (see our eBay feedback). If, for any reason, you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase within 30 days of receipt, you may return this product for a full refund. Please note that using a Freight-Forwarding Service voids eBay’s 30-Day Guarantee. We do not accept return requests from international locations and will only provide return freight from the original Ship To location.
