Hi i'm think of getting a Refurbished Airport Express base station. was wondering if it worth it? like will it have any scratches on it? or its better to get a new one. thanks everyone :D

why would you care about scratches? it's an ugly white box that goes onto a wall. lol. and yes, a product like that you're fine.
i would personally go into a local best buy and get an "open box" item. they generally take 10% off or 20%.
 
You should be fine with a refurbished one. I've bought refurbished Macs and I couldn't tell the difference from new, so I'd assume the airport would be the same way.

Have bought 3 refurb iPhones, and honestly I could not tell from used to new. In fact, mine works better than my friends brand new iPhone. Sometimes you get great stuff that way. I've never had a bad issue with anything refurbished, except for an over-the-range microwave that caught fire. :(
