I can handle constructive advice and I thought
I was giving into the fact that this has been
a learning experience for me. That's why I came
on a forum like this was to learn. Not to get
insulted. Think constructive. Key word there is
think.
Try not to let some responses bother you. Sometimes people are nasty, sometimes they're just tired of answering the same question over and over. (maybe they should skip) See the bottom for more on this.
And yes, I bought a refurbed JVC TV 8 years ago
and saved $800 off retail and have not had one
problem with it.
You take chances no matter where you buy from.
I hope you can see the difference between "refurb" and "unauthorized". Sometimes they go together, sometimes not. Refurbs are even MORE important to purchase authorized so you can get warranty help if needed. If it's just a dented box, you're perfect and saved money. If it's the CDR that I had to return, you're screwed and better hope YOU can return it, too.
People might say your an idiot from buying from
any etailer because you have to ship items back
and forth. Why not take it to next level and find
the highend electroncs store, walk in and pay
the full $189 retail for it. So what, you have
to spend an extra $100 for it. You have a store
you can walk into and talk to the manager and
some place you can bring it back to.
It all a matter of priorities. Mine are no more
or less solid than yours.
Yep. But some people come to forums like this and cry about the bad dealer they bought xxx broken product from. As if they expect these mfgr companies to fix their problem even if they bought it out of a van in a parking lot. That's not how it works, and some of us try to explain it to people who haven't really dealt with it, yet. Or as much.
