I don't understand why MD has to call refurbished something other than refurbished. Its like they think we're a bunch of babies that need coddling (i.e. stupid). It feels rather insulting. I don't need all these ridiculous BS backstories. This is a good price for refurbished (It's $15 less than Amazon). And for the record, MD usually has great prices for refurbs that they offer. Why hide it? Its almost like they want to be known as being super sketchy.

eneroAmazon refurbs only come with a 90 day warranty. These are one year.

BobosoOk...Yes, you are correct, but this comment has nothing to do with Amazon. If you took a moment to read what I actually said, you would see that I wasn't trying to get people to buy these from amazon.

eneroFrom my interpretation: they’re being called b stock, but mDrop is being very granular about the refurbishment process and your expectations should be accordingly high.

LGCihuh? I have no doubt they are perfectly fine. I'm all about company direct refurbs. Especially when they have full warranties. This comment is about how unnecessarily shady they are. This isn't about AT and their fine products.

eneroPerhaps it's just a difference in communities but evga also calls their refurbs bstock (for example gpus) as do sites like novelkeys (deskpads) and there seem to be no issues understanding what it means; I personally think it's fine, doesn't feel like coddling.

saucyraichuSure as a knowledgable consumer its fine, because you know what to look out for. But how many people do you know, young or old, that actually do their own homework before buying something. In this particular instance, its fine, this sucker is backed by AT's own warranty. But than you look at something like those sketchy ass MacBooks that MD tried to pass off as official Apple "B Stock" a few months back, and ultimately (and only) through the due diligence of myself and a few other members got them to admit that they were actually just rando 3rd party "refurbs" with 90 day reseller warranties. That just becomes a major problem. I'm sure there are also plenty of other drops that this has been the case. Its just an awful awful practice, especially when their return policy is so crummy. And for the record, I'm more incline to trust companies like EGVA and Novelkeys calling their stock, "b-stock", since it's their own products. I'm a bit (a lot) more skeptical when a store that has nothing to do with the brand, claims the same. unless it is expressly written out in the description what the warranty is, who backs it, and where the stock came from.
