    Would you buy one refurbished by eBay?

    Remember when a terabyte gigabyte was a lot?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I have bought refurbished computers with no problems.

      (But for some reason, I would hesitate to buy a refurbished hard drive. Kind of weird as a computer has a hard drive and no problem for me to buy)

        So have I.

        Apple's computers, when refurbished, are about 10% less than equivalent new models. They offer the same warranty, etc.

        Just something about an "eBay refurbished" hard drive sounds wrong.

              Does a refurbished computer not come with a refurbished hard drive?
