Hey all, I love compact tech and refurb gear because the price‑to‑utility ratio can be fantastic, but it took one misstep for me to tighten my checklist. I ordered a small refurbished camera to travel light, only to notice a faint sensor line after the return window closed. Support replied, though the back‑and‑forth around warranty tiers left me confused about what counted as cosmetic versus functional. Since then I test every feature the first evening and document defects with time‑stamped clips. To benchmark my expectations on vendor responsiveness and exchange windows, I dug through stories on https://back-market.pissedconsumer.com/review.html, focusing on how grading standards map to real‑world condition, how sellers handle accessories that arrive missing, and whether refunds post promptly. That research informed a simple rule for me: buy refurb, but only when I can stress‑test it within 48 hours.
