Hey guys,
I am going through a slight buyer remorse right now as I have placed an order for a refurbished iPad 2 16GB version via Apple as I thought the $349 price tag was hard to resist. Soon enough, I have realized the regular price for these are $399 and if I order from other authorized retailers like B&H, I don't get taxed. (They offer free shipping too)
I did the math and with the cash back, the price difference is only roughly $25 between the new one and the refurbished one. $375 vs $399
I know how Apple refurbs are (they look new and work just as good) but in the long run, will there be any disadvantages for going this route? (Loss in profit because of the refurb box.. etc)
What would you do?
