Because they've had other owners, used computers might be what you'd expect. Refurbished computers are much less than what they cost when they were new. Used computers are an excellent way to get a great PC at a reasonable price. Notice I didn't say top spec computer. It's unrealistic to expect to receive a top spec computer when you are paying the price of a used one. This spec machine delivers best service at best price.
As a note to people buying their first computers, used Macintosh computers are great choices for beginners.
Reputable online dealers use experienced and certified technicians to restore used Macintosh computers to perfect operating condition by thoroughly inspecting, repairing and/or cleaning. They will be guaranteed to work or your money back with at least a 30 days warranty. Often second-hand computers that are name brands come with a warranty of 3, 6 or as much as 12 months, so be sure to ask the salesperson.
A common misunderstanding by many people is that they think a used computer will take too much effort to maintain. I can categorically state that the opposite scenario is the true one. You will usually find that many mechanical parts have been replaced with new or refurbished bits and that normally includes the keyboard and mouse. Often you'll find that buying a new PC is not more cost effective than replacing used computers. Remember that.
You can find great prices on used computers by searching the Internet. So many are available because companies frequently upgrade leased computers after only a year or two. So these barely used computers become available. It's a great situation for someone on a budget.
The difficulty in finding stores which sell used Macintosh computers or second hand computers is due to the fact that they often don't do repair work, nor offer decent warranties, which is why I don't recommend them. Mostly, personal advertisments are not that effective and are given a miss by people, I would do the same and the reason for this is be because these ads offer no warranty at all. Yes, I have been steering you to online dealers for that reason. They have a system in place to deal with the inspection, repair and cleaning of used computers as well as being able to offer you a warranty.
So if they don't have a guarantee, go somewhere else online. Oh yes, and check what you are buying. Be sure to read the contract to determine if a monitor and Windows are included. Make sure that you check because sometimes that isn't the case.
