why refurbished cost more than the new one?

Buyer, I can't speak for the other vendors but we list ours as New Bulk / New Pull which is the same thing. We pulled these out of a server that we needed to put 300GB drives into so that is why we list ours this way.. In addition, We also offer a 1 YEAR WARRANTY which most other vendors will not even come close to .. Please let us know and thanks a lot All Computer Parts Customer Service.

Not sure what makes them think they can charge $160 when it was $60 brand new and $45 refurbished before...

Unless it says it's refurbished, then it is new. We ordered one last year and received a new one.

I simply replaced the old one w/o comparing the two. I did not "notice" any difference from old to new. It wasn't like, "WOW. this is amazing!!" I should have replaced one and compared, but I did not. sorry no help.

Most likely the one with the higher price has the newest update, but if you connect it to WiFi it will automatically update for free.

Yes, it comes with everything the new one includes, even the warranty. I've bought 3 refurbished units in the last 2 years and you can't tell it's a refurbished unit at all

I paid $459.00 for mine a few months ago. This is an amazing price if it's for a brand new one.

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

I buy all my photo equipment and power tools "Refurbished" whenever it is available. The reason is that the refurbished item is inspected and tested in every way before it is offered back to the public. I have never received a refurbished item that had any issues mechanically or cosmetic. On the other hand, I have frequently had to return "New" items for not working as they should. For me, Refurbished is BETTER than new.

yes, I've asked twice and haven't gotten an answer. I've returned a recall unit. If I could get a clean one, I'd buy it. I think it's a very nice product. But, I for one, am not going to pay retail for a "fixer-upper". At a "refurb" price, I'd think about it, because units below ser 3114200 are exactly that - refurbs waiting to be refurbed. I'm going to wait another week to see if I get an answer, and then just get something else. Sigh.

Thanks for all your help folks, but I purchased a REFURBISHED 2014 model. It's 100% complete, has a 1-yr warranty, 1-yr free tech support and free shipping, all for only $179! Had to go directly to the WiFiBaby website however...but I'm all set now! :)

I just had to call to get a "new" one under warranty and just FYI...they are sending me a refurbished one...they do not send new ones. Not happy.I was told your extended warranty just carries over to this one and then time is up.

Not to my knowledge. This one is refurbished; meaning it went out, came back for one reason or another. It is potentially repaired or whatever, but you would never know the difference. Mine as worked as advertised and I have had no issues. I will gladly save the $30-$40-- as long as it works, I don't care if it has a superficial blemish/was previously used.

The only difference I noticed was cosmetic stuff- logos, and the voices when it powers up, etc. If you buy a refurb though do so at your own risk... I'd suggest buying new.

Hi. Just as a New one. It says it is refurbished on The box thoutgh. But no problem. Go for it. It has a shorter waranty.

I believe because it has been refurbished. It works excellent though & Net10 also gives the 1 year warranty with it... so well worth the purchase.

Hi, I really don't know why apparently a newer model costs less than the older one. As I wrote in my review, this product turned out to be a useless device, it could be because of a defect, I'm not sure. Maybe I should have bought an "EDIMAX" model instead. Hope you have a better luck. Regards,Agron
