There is one thing from the listing that would make me a tad nervous "Condition: Seller refurbished"
You can get a new one for about 25 bucks more, with a warranty..

Just my 2 cents..

Sorry to hear that you nervous.  Many buyers like to buy a refurbish, or used at ~25% off.  Check off lease cars and trade ins, happens tens of thousands a times a day, worldwide, autos and other items

Perhaps see a doctor for your nervousness.

More like a $50 discount vs buying new, from a reliable seller.

Just my 4 cents.....

I do not buy used.  Someone has traded it in or sold it because it wasn't what they wanted, they wiped out, something broke and they said it was defective.   I would buy something new, no one has F***ed up and you have the primo opportunity of doing that yourself.  Or you can let yourself be taunted into buying a second hand item. Buying used or refurbished reminds me of that Big Bang episode with the chair they find on the street, bring it  upstairs, and something is living in it, bites them, they take it back to the street and another group sees the bargain and take it upstairs as the audience sees the  outline of the creature scurrying about.

To each their own.  Ebay and countless businesses have been quite successful selling "used" or "refurbished". Heck, I see Amazon selling used items too. Isn't Bezos, the owner of Amazon, the richest man in the world? He has it all wrong???

Car dealerships sell used cars, real estate brokers sell used houses.

Man, what am I missing here?

That's right, you state the quote "would make me a tad nervous "Condition: Seller refurbished"

Guess what, the ad states that, "Condition: Seller refurbished"

So, in fact, so it WILL make you a tad nervous
