While I love woot to death, I’m learned not to touch their refurbs. Yes, there’s every chance that you’ll get a great product that will never give you a problem out of a refurb, but after going oh-for-three, I’m done with that gamble.
Toshiba DVD Recorder with HD Upconversion and HDMI Cable: Broken on arrival – door wouldn’t open. I was able to take it apart and fix it, however.
Kodak EasyShare Z1275 12MP/720p Digital Camera w/5x Optical Zoom: Lasted about two months before dying.
Compaq DX2000 Business Desktop: Power supply failure after four months.
Just made my first-ever woot purchase!
Kodak 12 Megapixel Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom – different model than Hal Briston got, but yeah, it’s a refurb. But I’d been thinking about a new camera and I just couldn’t pass up that $50 price tag. We’ll see how it goes.
You should have it in three or four business days (add another two or three if you buy during a woot-off).
ETA: Good luck – I hope it lasts you a good long while!
For 50 bucks I was willing to gamble. I don’t need professional quality and I don’t take tons of pictures. When I do carry a camera I want to stick it in my pocket and forget it’s there until I want to use it. This is cheap, small, and light, so I’m hoping it will fit that bill for me.
Yeah, we’ve already got a Canon SD450, I was looking for somethign with a little more zoom for some specific shots, but the pictures still needed to be usable. Didn’t sound like this was going to be it.
