[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8703738, member: 679555"] I've been bit by used items on Ebay quite a few times. Also "refurbished" usually means customer refurbished unless it's a manufacturer's website. One was a JVC amplifier that was somebody's science experiment before I got it marked "manufacturer refurbished" I ended up opening it a few times for fixes but it served me well for many years. The other bad one was an Extech multimeter with a DC current sensing clamp that was reading about 120% too much current compared to my fluke's pass through current readings. I opened it up and there was unshrunk heatshrink all over it. I recalibrated it using the trim pots but it was never within its own spec. [/QUOTE]
