Does anyone know how to tell if its a refurb?
I bought a PRS-600 off ebay (wanted the bing cashback) that was sold as new. Now I see that sony sells refurbs as well.
Does anyone know if there is a way to tell a new device from a refurbished one? Thanks Last edited by puglover333; 02-07-2010 at 11:13 AM. |

To start with, Refurb does not mean defective and repaired. Most are customer returns or never shipped to a customer - cases of buyer's remorse.
I prefer buying computers from Dell refurb - I have never gotten one that was other than unused. New PRS-600s come in a factory sealed package. If it is an open package it should not have been sold as new. Robert |

If it's refurbished, it will say that on the box. I don't have any problems with refurbished electronics.
