It says "factory re-certified". If I'm not mistaken that means it is a part that was returned under warranty and they either repaired it or were unable to find a problem with it, so they are re-selling it. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I just wanted to point that out to any prospective buyers. Caveat emptor.

Yes, and refurbished equipment usually has a much shorter warranty than new product. -Larry "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:afo74m$fl8ik$[email hidden]...

I think refurbished also means you get somebody who checks out a piece rather than running it through an assembly line at Warp speeds. Still, be sure of any warranty policy before you make a purchase. dave henrie

Caveat emptor. I've heard a theory that a re-manufactured item is often better than the original. The original is simply stamped out by an assembly line. The re-manufactured is worked on by a factory technician who replaces the bad parts and makes SURE everything works. It made sense to me when I heard it...

That one has a 30-day warranty. Just a blink on the eye of God, but a third of the way to eternity for a computer part. (Just a little theosophy, there.) "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:qzQT8.243158$[email hidden]...

Agreed Eldred. Over the years I've purchased many refurbished products at significantly lower than new prices and and have never been let down. I'll be grabbing one of those Momo's. Hat's off to ChrisG27 for the head's up. -- See ya in the pits, Dean I have a terrible memory. In fact my memory's so bad I can't remember how long it's been since I've forgotten anything.

My only concern is what if it breaks 6 months from now. Isnt logitech the company that does not carry parts? I mean you are just out of luck? What do you guys think? Just deals chargers $8.95 for shipping so this is basically $100. I have thought about it. I am torn between paying this much or paying $50 more at newegg and getting a one year warranty. If I could have it repaired or find parts for it that would be different. I do not know if it is possible or not.

Buy.com also has them for $92.95 (US) and they have only 2 or so in stock. Justdeals.com is out of stock :-( SLG "ChrisG27" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I ordered from buy.com but i canceled my order once i realized it was a refurbished one. They want a lot for shipping. The total cost ends up being 108 and they have the new ones for 156 free shipping. "Steve Garrotto" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I was just thinking... Companies usually don't enlist resellers the size of Buy.Com unless they have a LOT of pallett's to move... Why are there so many refurb Momo's ?

Thought I'd chime in about my dealings with Justdeals.com. In the last year, I've placed about $1000 worth of orders with justdeals.com for mostly refurbished Logitech keyboards and mouses but a bit of everything including speakers and joysticks, pc cameras, etc. (Shipping at justdeals was $8.95 plus $1 for each additional item so it was better to order in large quanitities so all of us in my office pool together to place a single large order. Anyway, to get to my point, out of the approx 100 refurbished items I and my colleagues have ordered, we have had 1 cordless mouse that was DOA and justdeals replaced it after sending it back to them. The products are usually not in their original packaging but do usually come with their manuals and I have never seen any scratches or signs of use from them. Most of our orders were placed last winter and so far, they all still work. -Tim "ChrisG27" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:J1NT8.75620$[email hidden]...

Gents, if you can get a momo wheel for under a US$100 to your home even if it is refurbished that's gotta be cheap. If shipping costs were'nt so unreal, Id snap it up. Why? Because that wheel costs anywhere between NZ$500 -$630 depending on shop. That's roughly US$250 to $300.. Some people have all the luck.. :-)) Stu

Actually, they have a Logitech Formula Force GP FF wheel for $35 if you just wanted to try a FF wheel. Granted, it's no MOMO! -Tim
