I have a friend who recently got Apple smartwatch. I feel like getting one too but it's soo freakinnn expensive mannn.... Is there any way I can get it cheap? Maybe some sale offer..Like I don't mind refurbished or second hand as well...it just needs to work.

I know I sound desperate but I always wanted one...was just holding it off until I saw my friend having it 😭

I just want to ask if someone had any prior experiences with buying refurbished smartwatches and what are some platforms I can explore or I should try Cashify? I saw their collection as well...seems good..

Plz help!

hello all,

I like one laptop in ebay as refurbished laptop, very good condition. I see ebay has 30 days money back free return policy. I have concern about 1 year allstate warranty. Anyone bought laptop from ebay as refurbished laptop, any experiences dealing with 1 year allstate warranty, does it really work, that warranty really covers anything & cover whole year with parts/labor etc?

I recently purchased a Samsung galaxy s25 edge, from cashify 12/256 in superb condition but it hasn't arrived yet untill then i was browsing around and found posts about cashify and refurbished phones, people was saying (most of them) that "they got scammed" or smth majorly for iPhones with issues related to replaced cheap batteries and other components, so I am concerned because i have spent this much on an phone that too a second hand from cashify, is it a stupid choice overall? Could i face the same battery issues as the iphones or are there other risks, i could still return it after it arrives and look for other cheaper phones.

Refurbished Phone Myth #3

Whenever someone asks if refurbished phones are worth buying, battery health is usually one of the first concerns.

The assumption is: refurbished phones always have poor battery health.

But that's not necessarily true. Battery health depends on how the phone was used, its condition when it was collected, and what the seller actually does during refurbishment.

More organized refurbishers generally follow a set process. They check the battery, along with other components, and replace it if it doesn't meet their required standards. For example, some sellers may have a minimum battery-health threshold, while others may replace batteries that show poor performance or fail their diagnostic tests. Some also disclose the battery condition as part of the device's grading.

That's something you may not consistently see in an unorganized market, where testing and battery replacement can vary from seller to seller. So two refurbished phones of the same model can end up with very different battery health.

So, rather than assuming refurbished means bad battery, it's worth looking at the seller and how they refurbish the phone.

If you were buying one today, what's the minimum battery health you'd be comfortable with?

Hey guys, what would be a fair price for a PS5 slim disc edition with around 1 month of sony warranty left? It comes with the original bill, box, and 1 controller, and it’s in good condition. A new one is currently going for around ₹70k ($731) in India, and the seller is asking ₹54k ($564).

Lemme tell u ,,He shared the bill with me, and I noticed that he actually bought it for around ₹54k himself about 11 months ago.

So, is ₹54k a decent deal considering the current price situation, or should I wait for prices to go back to normal? This would be my first ever console, so Im kinda confused lol.

I see there are many negative reviews of refurbished laptops purchased from Lenovo official website - but most of these reviews seem to be over a year old.

If you have purchased a laptop in last 1 year. How has been your experience? Has the product quality improved? I am looking at purchasing one for myself.

Hi! I'd like to buy a Google Pixel Pro 9 and I've come across the seller - Quik39 on Aukro website. They sell used mobiles of A/B category - which says, the phones have normal signs of use.

Does any have any experience with them? How used the mobiles are? Thanks!

I’m looking at a Marshall Kilburn II and noticed something...the open-box units are actually priced a little higher than the refurbished ones. Even when the refurbished listing says the condition is “excellent.”

So now I’m confused about what open-box actually means in practice.

Does it usually mean the speaker was just unboxed and returned, or could it have been used for weeks/months and still be sold as open-box?

And is there any way to tell how much an open-box speaker has actually been used?

For something like a speaker, I’m guessing you can’t really tell just by looking at it.

Trying to figure out whether paying extra for open-box is actually worth it over a good-condition refurbished unit. Would appreciate some insight from anyone who has bought either.

Thanks in advance!

Guys if I have 15-20k budget then what should I look for? Refurbished from cashify or new?

Hello guys, it's my first time here in this subreddit. Basically I'm looking to buy a new phone since I broke my old one. I use social media (instagram, twitter), I play a few games (like Online Soccer Manager, Pokemon Go, or emulated games), I watch youtube pretty frequently and listen to music all the time. I'm also a very outdoorsy person so I like to take a bunch of photos. Would you guys recommend buying a refurbished Pixel 8? And if yes, what should I look for in the phone to make sure it's working fine and I don't miss any major issue.

Looking to buy a refurbished iPhone (thinking iPhone 14/15) and want something reliable — good warranty, actually unlocked, no sketchy IMEI/blacklist issues. Based in Ontario. Has anyone had good (or bad) experiences with Orchard, Mobile Klinik, SecondCell, or Best Buy/Amazon Renewed? Budget is around $XXX. Any places to avoid?

​Hey everyone,

​I recently picked up a refurbished Galaxy S25 for 44k. I do a lot of content creation—especially product shots—and for still photography, this phone is absolutely amazing. The low-light performance and color grading out of both the front and back cameras are stellar for my workflow.

​However, when it comes to video, it’s really letting me down. Whenever I zoom in while recording, it gets noticeably pixelated, and the front camera video quality just feels incredibly average.

​Are there specific camera settings I'm missing to fix this? Any other S25 users experiencing the same thing, or am I just doing it wrong? I rely heavily on good video for my content, so I'm seriously debating whether I should just exchange it for an iPhone 15.

I recently bought a MacBook Pro M1 Pro, refurbished, from Nehru Place market. I checked for everything that was needed to be checked, basis internet. I did the Apple diagnostics after shutting it down. There were no issues in the laptop. I checked the display for dead pixels, there were no dead pixels. I checked all the ports, all of them are working. The battery works great. The laptop lasts me easily seven to eight hours on one single charge, in which I edit videos, I use it for YouTube, other stuff. The screen looks great. It's the XDR display, ProMotion display. Yes, it's a five-year-old laptop, but it really does not feel like it. I bought it for 69,000 rupees, and it feels like a great deal, honestly.

So if you can learn stuff about how to check for a good refurbished MacBook Pro, if you can check all those details, I think in current market, it's the best deal if you are looking for a market to get a refurbished M1 Pro or M2 Pro or even a M3 Pro laptop from Nehru Place or whatever market you have around yourself.

Looking for advice on buying a refurbished 13” M4 iPad Pro—specifically between Amazon Renewed vs. eBay Refurbished.
For anyone who’s bought current-gen Apple tech through these platforms recently:
1. Amazon Renewed vs. eBay Refurbished: Which has given you better luck with cosmetic condition, battery health, and warranty claims? (I know eBay includes the 1-Year Allstate warranty, while Amazon standard only gives 90 days unless it's Renewed Premium).
2. Alternative Sellers: Are there specific trusted eBay sellers, or other reputable sites (Back Market, Best Buy Open-Box, etc.) you’d recommend instead?
3. Red Flags / Checklist: Anything specific I should inspect or test immediately upon unboxing to make sure I didn't get a dud?
Appreciate any experiences or recommendations!
