I think it is ok to buy electronics used on Amazon. Make sure a seller has a positive reputation. I have sold my products on Amazon, not because anything was wrong, but because I had upgraded.

Hey dude.. I could advise you on this as it happened with me.Yes.. it is safe as long as you pay for it through amazon (ie.. no wire transfers/online transfer or other means). The worst that can happen is that you wont get the item delivered by delivery date and then your money will be refunded back which will take about 10 days.This is exactly what happened with me when I ordered an iPhone 4 32GB unlocked at $460 from mattress n more discount furniture source.

that depends on who you buy it from. if it is new probably, if it is used probably not. =o)

Used Like new most times means open box unit and seller cannot place marketing price on it anymore. Simple! I only buy Used like new because it is way cheaper and has 0.0001% difference from brand new.. i bought a 54" plasma used like new and it was in original everything..prolly some customer opened it and put it back in the box..lol..thanks warehouse!!I know this is a very old post..but for people still wondering in 2011 here you go..

You have to ask the individual seller about the individual item. A new product would have manufacturer warranty, a refurbished item might have a limited warranty. Most used items have no warranty.

My Ipod, is a Nano, so not so new, but I use it every day and have recently downloaded new tunes from itunes. It works great!

I thought it was supposed to be new, but I got a used one, and as far as I can tell, no warranty. The seller apologized for sending a used one and offered to resend a new one very promptly. So you should be getting a new one regardless!

Yes, when re-sellers advertise No Guarantee in Amazon that is exactly what it means. They are selling you an item that comes without a guarantee from them. However, if the item is genuine, SONY should honor 1 yr guarantee from date of purchase. Your best bet is to find out directly from Sony if that is indeed true.

I tried to download my I tune file for my music and other video. I had some problem, the seller asked mo to go the Apple store to check out. I was told my apple that this phone is previously owned. I bought fro Amazon as new. I dont know, if this is actually pre owned. Seller should tell it new or used. I bought it as new per the seller.

I bought a used one and it came to me like it was new in a box and extremely clean. So I wouldn't be surprised if they came new in the box. But I don't know for sure. It's one of the best phones that I have ever owned while being extremely rugged. No problems at all. Good luck with your purchase.

Thank you, I called and spoke with someone at Rhapsody as well. I asked about the available service for the use of ipods. It was said to me that the older version ipods are not serviceable by Rhapsody. It was said to me only the newer ipods were accepted for service. I know this doesn't have to do with the Phillips but I figured any available information is helpful when in search of a gadget such as the mp3 player for the particular use on Rhapsody. Thank you for the info on the Phillips mp3. I am sure it will be very helpful to many people.

I dunno, assuming you buy from the right dealer and therefore get the right product and not one of the knockoff flimsy ones, it should survive impact from a high drop. These people obviously don't grasp that they aren't all receiving the same thing because I suspect they are ordering from different sellers for the cheapest rate. I'm clumsy as can be and the rubber outer lining keeps it from slipping out of my hands like the slick and slippery ipod without the case. I've still dropped it a few times and it didn't so much as nick it. Also I suggest getting them screen protectors if you haven't already. I got this case and screen protectors immediately after getting my ipod and it's still in mint condition because of that fact. Don't let other people's ignorance deter you. Buy from the right seller, the Amazon promoted one, and you should get the right thing. If you get it and it doesn't look like the right product or it seems flimsy AFTER putting it on the RIGHT WAY. (Reading through other customers experiences with THAT is embarrassing.) Then if it isn't satisfying-- send it back. Good luck! I love this case and I've had it for 5 months.

We have only bought a used controller from a store called Game Stop and had no problems. I have not bought used games from individuals. If it is on ebay or Amazon, they usually have a good return policy. Just be sure to read it carefully before you purchase.

NOPE.they have a very restricted LIMITED lifetime warranty.if it is a defect by production or damaged elsewhere (i.e. it came to you messed up) they will replace it.anything else than they will give you a restrictive waiver that offers to give you to 50% of your purchase price in credit as long as you bought it from an Authorized Retailer.it does note that the purchase is for anything that is available on the skullcandy website.so whether or not you can use it to purchase something off their amazon retailer, you have to talk to them about. but the pricing on the website is around 20-30 dollars more than the amazon price.in any case. not worth it! break easily.

An MP3 Player is not a ridiculous gift for a 6 year-old. My son is getting IlluStory for his B-Day and he has an iPod Touch as well. One thing does not affect the other! The world now offers us many possibilities and I am sure kids that have parents aware of what is around will be successful and learn to use all the tools they need now and in the future!

If you think you feel bad? Try being an owner of a 80gb iPod and then having it stolen from your vehicle. Hey! S..T happens, and you have to learn to take the good with the bad. I was taken for $350.00, but I didn't go out and buy a new iPod right away. My patience paid off, now I can go get another 80gb with new added features and for a cheaper price.

I was gonna leave a reply to this but then I saw the date...... But hey some people would like to know as well so I'm going to reply anyway. Every skullcandy product has a limited lifetime warranty. You do not need a receipt and it doesn't matter where you bought them or if you found them in the garbage whatever it does not matter. Now with that being said, if the problem is a factory defect you will get a FULL refund of the price at which skullcandy originality priced the product. If it is YOUR fault then you will get HALF. So how do you redeem the warranty? Go to skullcandy.com then look at the bottom of the page and click the contact button. The page should have some red type about getting a RMA number and the word here should be brownish looking click here then just do as it says. After you fill out all the info you will need to go check your email and print out a form to mail with the product. You will need to pay for shipping. After being mailed you wait. Keep checking your email and in around 3 weeks or so you will have a email saying that you were given an certain amount of credit and you need to login to use it. There should be a password needed. Just so to skullcandy.com and login with that then go to my account and how much money they credited you should be at the bottom. This money can be used at any time and never expires. You can use all of it at once or bits and pieces here and there. How do you use it? This money can ONLY be used on skullcandy.com towards ANY of their products. When you check out you will have a pay with points option. (this was my experience with shoe blue skullcandy buds your experience may vary but they credited me $38 so i had more than enough for a new pair) I LOVE skullcandy so im sticking with the brand :)
