It's a Yahoo store with some pretty good prices. They have 100% Positive Feedback on Ebay, but only out of 213 sales.

So, does anyone know the legitimacy of this site? I'm interested in getting a refurbished TV(since I like refurbished products for being cheaper, and they've run through a more advanced checkup already), and these guys so far look reliable, and cheap, but I don't know if I should trust them or not.

Refurbed items are products which were broken and sold/returned to the manufacturer or retailer which have been repaired by the manufacturer or the retailer. This makes the item considerably cheaper than the retail price, but technically, you take a risk when buying it, and I'm not sure about warranties.

I don't like to get refurbed items, because I have the feeling that they won't work as good as the brand new retail item. You can get good prices on retail stuff anyway if you know where to look. Use http://www.pricewatch.com to find good prices.

On the security end of the site, they seem legit, but it's your own risk when purchasing in regards to quality, especially refurbished products.

I guess that if they did want to scam me, it would be in their refurbished products, not their service, and they have warranties for that. So, I dunno. I'm probably going to get something from them anyways, mainly since they're the best looking option and all the research I've done has shown nothing bad about them.

Toshiba on the other hand...they recently put Orion in charge of their newer models of TVs, so I have to buy an older model if I want quality.

I'd just go to Fry's, Best Buy, or Wal-Mart. I don't like the idea of used computer equipment.

It's harder to get this at best buy since it's $480 at Refurb and $600 at Best Buy. A similar item at Walmart is $650, and Fry's has nothing like it at all. And Target sells it at $600 too, but it's extra expensive since I can't pick it up in store, and have to pay for shipping. So, basically, it's this or Best Buy.

Well, I've noticed Wal-mart can sometimes be a bit pricey, that is, with computers, but I still wouldn't buy a used computer part for less.

Fry's sells refurbs, but they vary each day, and I don't know if they sell refurbed TVs.

Nevermind, I just made a whop of money helping my neighbors set up their modem and PC for the first time(and giving them Firefox without asking, muahahah), so now I can afford to get it new instead(at the end of the month).

I went to Frys once and bought a refurbed item and it worked just fine at the store they have the same warranty as if it were new so its all good =]
