[QUOTE="Richie_Gecko, post: 245131, member: 12982"] Ok, so after spending 18 seconds reading the policy, I discovered that Apple's definition of refurbished is the same as every other company's definition of refurbished. Imagine that. In other words, refurbished products are pre-owned, and may or may not have been returned for technical issues. The products are then repaired if necessary, inspected, cleaned, repackaged, and resold. They are sold for a discounted price, because it is NOT the same as buying the product new. If it were the same, they would charge the same price. I'm not saying anything bad about people who buy refurbished products, and I'm not saying you own an inferior product. All I'm saying is that I feel safer owning a product that nobody else has owned before me, because I have NO idea how it was treated by the previous owner. [/QUOTE]
