refurbished items
Fixed-up merchandise resold
Refurbished items are used or returned products that have been inspected, repaired if necessary, and restored to working condition for resale.
They typically cost less than new items but more than used ones: I bought a refurbished laptop to save money.
Manufacturers, retailers, or third parties may do the refurbishing, with varying quality standards.
The term appears frequently in electronics sales, where certified refurbished suggests more rigorous testing and warranty coverage.
