When green is cheap -- buying refurbished items

Most of you know I've recently moved.  I have two very expensive items on my wish list.  One is a new vacuum, which is a MUST.  When I left Virginia last week, my dyson lost it's suction *gasp!* and I left it behind.  My dad is working on trying to fix it, I sucked up a tissue...and a tissue did it in.  I loved my dyson though.  It's an amazing vacuum so don't let the death by tissue deter you.

So, I bought this Dyson from overstock.com.  Granted, with limited time with packing and all that I only shopped for about 20 minutes, but I'm very proud that I found a good vacuum that's almost $120 bucks cheaper then one brand new.

So, have you purchased anything that was refurbished before?  Did you have a good experience with it?

  2. That's good to know Emily! I'm still shopping around for a new camera, and I think refurbished is the way we'll go. :)

  3. Overstock does have some amazing deals. Haven't gotten things like this from them, but lots of bed linens, etc.

  4. Heh, I bought my Dyson refurbished. It still works great and I paid less than half of it's original price. :)
