Epson 8350 Refurb $899 @ epson.com

That's a great deal but I can't make myself buy a refurb

I've ordered refurb projectors before and never had a problem. This has a 2 year warranty so I wouldn't worry at all.

This includes free shipping and the same warranty (2 years, 90 days bulb) as a new unit. They phoned today to confirm that I had placed the order, and "Order is being fullfilled". I expect it to ship out on Monday, 30 April or shortly after that.

I have never had a problem with buying refurbished products, including my Apple computers over the years *as long as* they come with the same warranty as new.

Considering the problems Epson was having with the Iris, it's likely my unit will arrive competently repaired with minimal hours on the bulb.

A small note of inconvenience. I couldn't actually find this on the Canadian Epson webstore - instead I did a search in one of the price bots (Canadian) and the refurbished price came up as well as new stock. Quickly clicked through, checked warranty, etc. and placed the order.

Anyway, thought I'd throw that out there.

It says $999 on the website? Was this a special I missed?

Edit: Nevermind I see you posted in the other thread saying it was $999, I was all choked thinking I missed something

I called Epson and was told the discount code does not apply to refurbished products even though I told him that I knew of others who had ordered and received a discount, $999 was still a good price so I went ahead and ordered one. The salesman took my order and said I would get an email confirming my but instead I received an email saying my CC was declined due to an error in the bill to/ship to information. Total BS as I carefully spelled out all my info for him to make sure it was correct.

BTW, Epson CS told me refurb units cannot be returned for a refund of payment so you will be stuck with the unit. I had went ahead with the order with Epson because I read many posts about the great CS.

A few days later I ordered a new unit off another mainstream online retailer, price was $80 more but if I have a problem the unit is easy to return. So I paid more for a new unit with the option to retun the unit and get my money back.

That's unfortunate as I ordered one via the website and when it was cancelled ( I had put the wrong phone number) the customer rep assisted me in re-ordering and did apply the code after I mentioned it, saying "that's correct, it is applicable".
