Do you guys buy items that are open box. Newegg has several items that are open box and half the price of a retail item. What are peoples thoughts on this. I could save a bundle if i did buy open box but i'm a little worried that i will get broken pieces...

I have bought several items from Newegg that were open box 3 Hard Drives, a monitor, Heatsink and fan, and a few others. I have had no problems with them at all. The oldest item 1 of the 3 hard drives was bought 3 yrs ago and has been running 24/7. The only think you MUST be aware of though are open box items are/may not have all the cables manuals or software that would normally come with an unopened box. And always Newegg is hard to beat. :thumbup :thumbup

I haven't bought from newegg but most times when selling open box they will list anything missing or broken in the description. once that is known I have no problem most times buying open box product s longs as it still caries a warranty.
