I have had 4 bad experiences with used. I will go for Manufactured reconditioned stuff sometimes. But don't like used. Even in my train stuff if it isn't new i won't touch it. I had one new item that i got a few weeks ago, My desk. I was able to get it taken care of but part of it was my fault. Hint!! Don't destroy any boxes that things come in till you can confirm that it is working or all the pieces are in whatever you get. My bad! I have two things coming and one is Manufacture reconditioned. It has the option of extended warranty and i will with something like that. If new i don't bother.
