New, used or refurbished?

Buy new if you want the full warranty, a guaranteed battery and an easy return, or if the used saving shown above is small. Buy used when the gap is large and the seller has strong feedback and a return policy. Refurbished sits in the middle: a few dollars more than used, usually with a warranty and a tested unit.
