Refurbish

Refurbished is a term used to describe a computer hardware component that is not new. Because a company cannot resell a computer product as new if it has been sold and used or if the box has been opened, it must be labeled as a refurbished part and/or computer. A refurbished part or computer may have been sold to someone and returned for any of the below reasons.
  1. Computer or part was defective.
  2. Computer or part was thought of as defective and really was not.
  3. Computer or part had blemish or other flaw that was not acceptable to user.
  4. Computer or part has a missing part so the unit was sent back.
  5. User was unable to afford computer or part and had to return it.
  6. Was the wrong part or computer for user and user opened box. 

A refurbished computer or part will commonly be labeled in the store as a referb, refurbish, or refurbished and usually will be sold at a lower cost than the non-refurbished computer or part.
