refurbished goods
Fixed-up used products
Refurbished goods are products that have been returned, repaired, or restored to working condition and resold at a discount.
They may have had defects fixed, cosmetic damage addressed, or simply been repackaged after a customer return.
I bought a refurbished laptop for half the original price.
Refurbished items typically come with shorter warranties than new products but offer significant savings.
