Would you buy a refurbished Kindle?

[bab]

They have some for like $60 instead of $100. I'm very cheap when it comes to spending on myself. Would you trust a refurb Kindle?

[frkls]

yes. we buy all the things refurbed

[PeonyParty]

I would. Amazon is known for its excellent customer service so that would ease my mind a bit.

From Amazon? What is the warranty on it? I have had great experiences with their customer service regarding our Kindles and needing replacements.

[bab]

There is no warranty, but I figure if it is awful I can just return it

[MixedBerryJam]

With no warranty I might not get a refurb with those numbers, but I almost always get my apple products refurbed from the store. They come with a 1-year warranty and I haven't been disappointed yet.

[nsl]

Yes, unless it was a Fire. I have yet to read anything positive about older Kindle Fires.

[calle28]

I would if it was from Amazon, but not from an individual buyer off CL or Ebay.

[nachos]

I'd probably buy a refurbished iPad, but not Kindle or Kobo.

[TrudyCampbell]

Yes, I did and I would have never known it wasn't brand new.

[miniroller]

We bought a refurbished iPad from Amazon for H a couple months ago (to replace his THIRD broken!) & it was really like new. We were very pleased!

[starryfish]

yes I always do this. It is how I have bought my last two kindles. very happy!

[moreace01]

I just did a month ago. But they've been running a deal for $40 or something all week so you might want to see if the one you want is on sale.

I bought a refurbished kindle directly from amazon and it had the same 1 year warranty as buying a new one. I have had no problems with it. I am not sure I would do it from a 3rd party seller without the warranty.

[isabel]

Kindles are pretty low tech. I'm not sure I would be concerned about having issues with it and would probably go for the refurb.

[megstoo]

Yes. I just bought a Surface Tablet from someone selling it on our FB county pages. I just restored to factory settings and it's as good as new.
