I’m looking at a Marshall Kilburn II and noticed something...the open-box units are actually priced a little higher than the refurbished ones. Even when the refurbished listing says the condition is “excellent.”

So now I’m confused about what open-box actually means in practice.

Does it usually mean the speaker was just unboxed and returned, or could it have been used for weeks/months and still be sold as open-box?

And is there any way to tell how much an open-box speaker has actually been used?

For something like a speaker, I’m guessing you can’t really tell just by looking at it.

Trying to figure out whether paying extra for open-box is actually worth it over a good-condition refurbished unit. Would appreciate some insight from anyone who has bought either.

Thanks in advance!

She has zero sportsmanship tbh.

This is the xbox x series. Got it approx 4 years back...Now i want to sell it and use that money to upgrade to PS5... It's in good working condition. I was wondering if this one could be useful to someone else...

I don't have bill or box...just the console

I have no clue where do people usually sell gaming consoles? Can anyone help me explore my options?

Looking to buy a Samsung A36 (8/256) for my younger brother.

Option 1: Flipkart

I can exchange my Moto G54. Phone works perfectly, just has a small dent. Right now the final price is showing Rs.27,449 after exchange, but I've heard Flipkart pickup guys scrutinize every tiny thing, so I'm not sure if I'll actually get the full exchange value.

Option 2: Cashify

Refurbished A36 (Good condition) is Rs.24,899. If I sell my Moto G54 to Cashify separately, they're offering Rs. 8,450, so my effective cost becomes Rs. 16,449.

My brother will probably upgrade again in around 2 years, so I'm wondering if buying refurbished makes more sense here.

Which option would you guys pick and why?

It happened to my dad, I realized this is something that could easily happen to anyone so I am sharing...

My dad damaged his old phone by accident and needed a spare one urgently... He was looking for something cheap and was okay with second hand phone too.

He got one in OLX. The seller seemed genuine. Original box, bill, matching IMEI, phone in mint condition.

Out of doubt my dad asked him why he's selling such a new phone. To unhone bola colour kuch aur chahiye tha and non returnable tha to bech rahe...

My dad wasn't very familiar with online payments or emi processes... A few weeks later, he discovered the phone is still under an active emi.

He contacted the seller again regarding this. Thankfully he replied

"EMI pe liya tha. main bhar raha hoon. Aap tension mat lo."

Like really? This wasn't even informed before hand. Phone khareed lene ke baad pata laga...

That was enough for me to realize that buying a financed second-hand phone is a risk many people don't even think about.

Good thing... unhone bhar to diya tha emi...but my question is...

- What if the seller stops paying the EMI?

- Can the finance company blacklist or lock the phone?

- Does the new owner have any protection?

- There was no disclaimer or prior notice... what's the way to know?

Aise kaise trust kr len kisiko bhi?

So I guess it's really important that whenever you buy second hand phone from local seller...please make sure he has the bill of purchasing the phone. And that the full payment is completed by the previous owner.

And if it's under EMI, it's better to skip it. Not all sellers are trustworthy (my dad was lucky). Check certification and reviews even if buying online...

Hope this helps!
