Hi guys. So I came across this website about a year ago and I thought I'd share it with anyone who might be interested. It's called "Backmarket", (not "BLackmarket"). Just to be clear, I neither work for, nor profit from any sales of theirs, I'm just hoping this may be of interest to some of you. Backmarket re-sells lightly used and completely re-furnished electronic equipment. Among some of the items they sell are cameras, lenses, cell phones, computers, printers, tv's and all kinds of appliances. Everything they sell is refurbished and tested before shipping. Goods are graded, fair, good, and excellent, (reflected in the price), but that is only cosmetic, (perhaps a tiny scratch or two), everything works the same, regardless of the grade. Everything comes with a full 12 month warranty, and service is fast and friendly. The prices are unbelievably good, usually at least 50% less than anywhere else that I have seen. So far I have bought a cell phone, (over $1000.00 new, cost me $385.00),and listed as "fair condition", it honestly looks like brand new, not a mark on it! I'm now looking at laptops and perhaps a TV. I realize buying re-furbished isn't for everyone, and I was sceptical to begin with myself, and didn't want to recommend it until I had some experience with the company. So anyway, I hope this info might be helpful to some of you, and if you have a few minutes to spare why not check them out and see what you think? Have a great day!

I just tried their site. First thing off they wanted to collect cookies, so I just moved on.

I honestly can't remember the last site I visited that didn't involve cookies!

What's the big deal? If you use the free version of CCleaner after being on the internet you can have all collected cookies deleted from your computer if they bother you that much.
