Mbenj24 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 When you buy some used consoles on Ebay or elsewhere when you see "Refurbished" stickers on them? I bought a number recently, and one had a refurbished sticker underneath it. When I opened it up it was missing one screw for the PS, both screws for one and two controller ports and broken tabs to help hold down the fan! Man these guys are crude! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't come across that yet. I would completely disregard a "refurbished" sticker. May mean something to the average person but not to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyMaGee Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I’ve never actually seen one with a refurbished sticker. I would generally disregard unless they give a detailed list of the work done to them and it includes a recap. For any I’ve ever sold I never called them refurbished and always listed a very detailed sheet of things done (including an itemized list of caps replaced including location, values, brand, etc) and photos of the work inside and out. Half the Xboxes I’ve seen of late with the claim of “refurbished” appear to have been opened up and blown out with a can of compressed air. Somehow that’s “refurbished”. Lol Btw, how did these people leave a psu screw out? They’re only two in it. LOL. It shouldn’t be missing any but I could maybe understand if one was missing from say the mobo. Maybe. The broken tabs for the heat sinks and no screws for one of the dual controller ports…unacceptable. I’d expect that in a parts box only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbenj24 Posted April 20 Author Report Share Posted April 20 It just goes to show you when Microsoft or any of the manufacturers give their warrantied consoles to a third party provider to "fix". Back in the day when I had to send my 360 back for warranty, the one they sent back had a "Refurbished" sticker on it. I didn't even get four months out it it, Now I can see why.

Bowlsnapper Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Wow... I remember the days when you could send a console in the be repaired... is that still a thing, or are consoles disposable now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
