Do you purchase refurbished computers, other hardware?

[neku]

To save money, I have been purchasing and using refurbished computers, especially desktops. Do other members of this forum purchase second hand or used computers and if yes, how reliable are these computers?

I did it during my first day of work. My IT friend recommended it to me. It was very cheap but it did not last two years. There's nothing better than original.

Yes I have purchased a few in the past, and I was lucky enough to buy one that was without any kind of issue.

There are many second hand computers and laptops in the city and many buy. They were repaired by skilled technicians.

I purchased a refurbished laptop when I started freelancing online at a low price. I bought it for less than $100.

Less that a hundred dollars is definitely a sweet deal, what brand is the laptop?
Over here it's hard to see a really good laptop for that amount.
