Refurb Sony PRS-950SC at Sony Style for $239 (4/18/2011)

sufue · 04-18-2011, 05:55 PM

Sony Style seems to have finally realized that they were trying to sell the refurb PRS-950SC's for more than the new ones.

The price for the refurb units has now been dropped to $239, which is a pretty good price, IMO.

My apologies if you also saw this in my other sarcastic thread about the Sony Style store - I re-posted it with an accurate title since it now really is a "deal", and not just a dump on Sony.

What kind of track record do the Sony refurb e-readers have?

Is this a steal or a don't-touch?

I have bought five Sony e-Readers : one PRS-500, and four PRS-300 - for me, son, husband and a girlfriend. Two of the four PRS-300's were refurb, and they are both doing fine more than a year later, although my husband doesn't use his a lot - mostly just on trips for him. The two refurbs we got were indistinguishable from new, other than being marked as refurb - not even any cosmetic scratches.

Just two data points, and of course, YMMV.
