Tech Refurb Myths—Busted! What B2B Buyers Need to Know About Refurbished Devices
Welcome to the wild and wonderful world of refurbished tech—where every device has a backstory and urban legends are begging to be debunked!
Let’s set the record straight and give these myths a good old-fashioned smackdown.
In an era of tight margins, eco-conscious customers, and the growing demand for sustainable IT solutions, businesses are diving headfirst into the refurbished device pool. But hold onto your keyboards—because a few persistent myths are still floating around, especially in wholesale and B2B circles.
❌ MYTH 1: “Refurbs are unreliable.”
✅ TRUTH: Our refurbished tech gets more check-ups than your nan at the GP!
At iGo Life, every device goes through more diagnostics than a character in a medical drama. We test battery health, securely erase all data (goodbye, embarrassing selfies!), and give each device a full cosmetic makeover.
Our quality assurance failure rate? Just 2%—that’s like finding a unicorn in a haystack.
❌ MYTH 2: “There’s no warranty.”
✅ TRUTH: Every refurbished B2B device comes with a 12-month warranty.
That’s right—a full year of cover. We’re so confident in our devices that we put them through their paces like a drill sergeant on double espresso. And if anything does go wrong? We’ll fix it faster than you can say “downtime.”
Your margins—and your reputation—will thank you.
❌ MYTH 3: “Refurbs are just second-hand.
✅ TRUTH: Refurbished means reprocessed, retested, and repurposed—think glow-up, not hand-me-down.
These aren’t your granny’s leftovers. Our devices are cleaned, restored, and certified—often exceeding end-user expectations.
And when it comes to sustainability? Buying refurbished slashes CO₂ emissions by up to 80%. That’s a win for the planet and a great talking point at your next stakeholder meeting.
❌ MYTH 4: “Specs are outdated.”
✅ TRUTH: Our stock is so fresh it could star on MasterChef.
Most of our devices are current or recent-generation models, with specs that outperform today’s mid-range tech. Our B2B inventory includes:
- iPhone 13 & 14 models – because staying ahead matters.
- Samsung Galaxy S21–S23 range – phones so smart they might just join your Zoom call for you.
- iPads and MacBooks – ideal for remote teams, students, and any enterprise that wants performance and polish.
Need flagship performance without the flagship price tag? You’re in the right place.
❌ MYTH 5: “Refurb can’t scale.”
