Many of the items offered also have a 30-day money back guarantee. Everything available through eBay's certified refurbished program comes with a 2-year warranty. I know they cover the period of time least likely to need warranty coverage, but I also think peace-of-mind is important, too. I'm neither for nor against extended warranties. That's why retailers love to sell you an extended warranty: it's pure profit for them.
That means you're actually less likely to suffer from a breakdown with a certified refurb than you are when you buy something new.Īlso, that flat part in the middle of the bathtub curve? That's when a product has the least likelihood of failure, but is also the period of time covered by extended warranties. Refurbished items already suffered their most-likely failure, and have been repaired and re-certified. It's called the bathtub curve because it's shaped like a bathtub. It starts off high, drops suddenly, flattens out for a while then ramps back up again near the end of its life. In engineering, there's something called the "bathtub curve" that models when something is most likely to suffer a catastrophic failure. when an item is refurbished, that means it already experienced a break-down at one of the most likely failure points of its lifecycle. Why buy something that was already fixed once? Well, ACTUALLLLLLLLLLY. When recommending refurbs, I always run into hesitancy, which is understandable.
