r/Newegg on Reddit: Lesson learned, Newegg refurbished is not quality at all.
December 12, 2022 -

Had my 1080 finally die last month. Saw that Newegg was offering 3070s supposedly refurbished by Gigabyte for sale at a decent price, money has been tight and I need my computer for work and I need a decent video card for it.

First card showed up on the 8th, artifacts on boot. RMA, took 10+days round trip, and the new card is artifacting on boot and giving me error 43 in windows, on multiple machines. I'm sitting here and the only return I can do is for a replacement and it's obvious it's a bad batch of cards, since I've purchased it, a review has shown up on the site with similar issues.

Just be warned I guess waiting to hear back from support to see what can be done but apparently newegg is not great lately.

Newegg refurbished questions - PCPartPicker
A refurbished item carries with it a weight of "this item didn't work at some point", whether or not the concern is valid. ... Mostly for the same reason I don't generally suggest used parts: the pricing and availability are extremely variable. A refurb deal might be present one day and gone the next. I think that for most PC builders it's better to buy new and get the full warranty. ... I have no direct experience with Newegg refurbished but in general I have had really good luck with buying refurbished items.

Which is better for refurbished laptops, manufacturer or Newegg? - Quora
Answer: Be careful of resellers as you will almost never get what is provided by the MFR directly. Model #’s vary significantly and you may end up paying more than you expect or less than the MFR but get a lesser quality laptop.

Answer (1 of 2): My experience is the same as Shane Tennent’s. If it was anyone else but NewEgg I’d say no. Since it IS NewEgg, go for it. Worst case scenario you lose a day or 2 while they make it right.

What You Need to Know Before Buying Refurbished | Reviews by Wirecutter
January 22, 2021 - That means if you’re on the hunt for a refurbished Roomba or stand mixer, for instance, you’ll have better luck buying directly from iRobot or KitchenAid. Just keep in mind that many manufacturers have storefronts on third-party selling sites such as eBay, Newegg, and Amazon, so you don’t always have to make the purchase from the manufacturer’s website to secure a trustworthy refurb. Our one exception is that every so often we find a good deal on a relatively inexpensive item from a reliable seller on a non-manufacturer refurb.
