If you need a phone, laptop, or even cooking equipment, you can get a big discount when you buy a refurbished item.
These nearly new products are available at savings of up to 50%.
And often we don’t know that it has never been used before.
Here are some tips to ensure you get the best deals.
Big savings: Refurbished gadgets and appliances have previous owners, but have been repaired and professionally checked to be in working order.
Depending on the product, there may be damage such as scratches or dirt on the exterior.

However, this should be clearly stated as part of the description.
Buying refurbished means you can fill your bags with top brands and models you might not otherwise be able to afford.
For example, you could make hundreds of pounds off an Apple iPhone or a Smeg coffee machine.
Grade purchase: Most remanufacturing techniques are evaluated in terms of the degree of repair and appearance.
In most cases, you will be paid for the item in unused condition.
You’ll also get more money if you’re willing to buy items that are in good working order but have visible signs of wear and tear.
Most retailers carry about four grades of refurbished products, ranging from very well used to very well used.
Where to buy: Retailers that sell refurbished products include Currys, Apple, Appliances Direct, Envirofone, Amazon, GiffGaff, eBay, and OnBuy.
Please make sure to purchase from trusted online sellers.
Get your warranty: Always buy refurbished products that come with a warranty or guarantee.
This means you’re protected even if the product you purchase doesn’t work properly or breaks.
For example, refurbished items on eBay come with a 12-month warranty that covers functional defects.
