Dan208 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 What's everyone's opinion on buying refurbished equipment from sources like Crutchfield? Is it safe or should I just stick with buying new?

tripleb45 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 personally I would buy just about anything refurbed if it has a warranty. No warranty no deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSkippyJ Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Is it safe to assume when someone asks about buying refurb they mean refurb from the company or at very least an authorized dealer? Or should this be mentioned in here?

Nightshade Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) I agree that refurbed products are a go if they have a waranty with them. Especially a place like Db-r that refurbs Sundown amps. The amps that Chris fixes are as good as new, I wouldn't hesitate to buy an amp from him ever except the fact that Jacob is only an hour away from me Buy refurbs with confidence, but the only problem is that they usually only carry a 90 waranty. Usually if something happens it happens after 90 days and that goes with new amps too. It seems like just when something breaks it's right after the waranty has expired. What is it that your looking at getting from Crutchfield exactly?
