I'm looking at getting some Apple AirPods Pros for my daughter for christmas. I found some reconditioned AirPods Pros on Reebelo for $200 which is $95 cheaper than a new set from JB Hi-Fi.
Has anyone had any experience with buying from Reebelo? Are their reconditioned products any good?
Is it worth getting used AirPod Pros or should I pay the extra $95 and get new?
Your advice is appreciated
surely the bit that goes in your ear would be new…
I've bought Airpods Pro twice from Cashies in the past; you get to view their condition and receive a 90-day warranty. Reebelo is a marketplace and I've found their phone gradings to be inconsistent. Hard to negotiate a return when you feel one of their independent shop fronts has over-graded their merch. I prefer to trade with Phonebot or Ozmobiles who manage their own inventory. Beware that pre-owned Airpods Pro may not come with all three sizes of ear tips.
I will always buy refurbs for myself, but for a kids christmas present? And airpods?
If you want to save money buy non-pros. Depending on age, odds are the kid will lose some part of it soon enough.
In this case its for a 16yr old who has been very careful with her current EarPods. But, point taken.
Sorry to see you missed the pre-order price on AirPods 4 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/866848; 964 sold, would hate to be working in their warehouse when that shipment arrives!
You can get a set of new AirPod pro’s for around $250 if you can wait for a good sale. I just don’t think it’s worth bothering with used in this case. I have used Reebelo to sell a device in the past.
Whatever you do, resist the temptation to buy a “new” pair on marketplace. You’ll end up with fakes.
Black Friday sales are next month. Amazon even does huge sales
Check on camelcamelcamel with an Amazon link for the lowest price to give you an idea of the best price
Please do not gift someone used AirPods.
Personally I'd never buy second hand ear buds that have been used ! I can't believe they can legally sell them , but what you can afford to buy , buy (new).
