Overstock.com question

[C.Ann]

Has anyone here ever purchased refurbished electronics from them? And if so, did you have good luck with the item you purchased?

Still looking for a very inexpensive DVD/VCR player combo and Overstock.com has several refurbished brands to choose from in the $50 or less category.. The least expensive ones I can find brand new are more than twice that amount and since it's only for the lake, I don't want to spend a lot of money..

Any info would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks!

Our first laptop was a refurb from there. We never had any issues with it. Currently, both of our teens have refurb laptops (although not from there) and they were great, too. I also bought a watch from them and had an issue with it. Their customer service was terrific.

I have not purchased for them, but I just wanted to remind you to check out the return policy. Also I found one at our Walmart for $75. I know it's a little more than 50, but after shipping and with a manufactures warenty, it might be something you want to look at if it is avalible in your area.

I had an inexpensive phone I bought from them, not refurb, but it had a cracked base. No problem sending it back and the refund, it was aggrivating though.
I just never found anything else I could not find on sale to order again.

Did you look at Sears online?

Not specific to refurbed electronics, but I buy a lot from Overstock.com and have always been pleased. Other places I check out when buying electronics online are Frys.com, newegg.com, tigerdirect.com (circuit city's outlet) and refurbdepot.com.

Thanks! I'll check out those places tomorrow..

With the S&H only being $2.95 - no matter what the size of your order at Overstock - I thought if I went ahead and purchased from them I might look for some other items I need as well..

I've purchased a lot of stuff from Overstock. In fact, just today got a new 8' x 11' area rug delivered from them. But I've only purchased one refurbed electronic item from them, and unfortunately it had problems and I had to send it back. It was a digital camera I'd purchased for my daughter for her birthday. It wouldn't turn on half the time. I was extremely pleased with their return policy. They sent me a prepaid return mailing label and I just had to drop it off at a UPS store. They refunded my money with no questions at all.

From time to time, I see vcr/dvd combo players at goodwill for around $20. I think that people are upgrading to blu-ray players, so there may be more of these being donated. Worth a try for $20. Our goodwill has a few day return policy on electronics.

We got a refurb DVD/VCR player from overstock.com and haven't had any problems at all. It's several years old now.

That's good to hear.. Also the info from the poster who said their return was easy with a prepaid shipping label..

I have to make my decision soon, so I think maybe I'll give them a shot..

Thanks to all who replied!

I'm pretty sure that Overstock is one of Bing's cashback sellers too.
