[quote]QUOTE: ... Products sold through BOD may be customer returns, have packaging damage, or are factory refurbished units / factory seconds. BOD products carry no warranty of any kind, are sold AS-IS and are non-returnable. Items that are in need of future service can be serviced by BLI at the standard repair rates.[/quote] <br /> <br />"May be" is a problem...there's a <b> big </b> difference between those four categories: <br />-customer return, <br />-packaging damage, <br />-factory refurbish, <br />-factory second. <br />Your risk factor is very high. <br />IMHO.....No warranty of any kind means you should be paying accordingly, if you wi***o take a chance....maybe 30% of list price....??? <br /> <br />Years ago, we used to buy Black & Decker appliances & power tools at a B & D "direct outlet ", which claimed the same "maybe" categories as above...<b> BUT </b>...the stuff all had warranties of the same duration as their NEW product warranties. The prices were 25% to 50% off new list prices, and were often for discontinued models. Good deals, and the warranties were real...I needed to use one once, on an 18v cordless drill after nearly two years of use.....no problem...the unit was replaced with their newest model.[:)] <br />regards <br />Mike
