I just found out that squaretrade only offers refurb insurance on ebay items. I'm glad I called. Is there any other site the would insure a refurb from bestbuy.(bestbuy only offers 90 days)
Answer
These 'insurance' policies run about $35/year starting.
A new BluRay player is available for as low as $60 and the name brands are about $90. So you are spending 30% of the retail price for the coverage.
Since you save money by buying a refurbished unit - dont waste money on the policy.

Answer
Refurbished means that it was
1 Returned to the factory, or an authorized repair station
2 checked for proper operations
3 repairs were done if necessary ( sometimes the unit could have been a return item with nothing wrong)
4 repackaged with all accessories that would come with a new unit.
So yes this is not a new unit, it had been taken out of the box. It may have been in someone's house, broke under warranty, fixed and being resold.
As to whether it is a good buy or not is up to you. Some people like to buy refurbished thinking that since the unit was checked out and has warranty and the price is reduced that it is. Others feel that you are just buying someone else's problem.
