It "looks" but is NOT new. You exactly described refurbishing. To the

west of Kherson,
such goods is sold at discounted price with a sticker "Refurbished".
Potential buyers, beware.

like AP, TMB, Aries, Questar don't?

Rich,

I dislike Aries' bussines practices because VD sells refurbished
Chromacor as new for full price without disclosure to the buyer.
Vic Maris sells blems on ebay.

You simply don't know what is what. If we _exchanged_ the cell,
re-coat the surfaces, assembled and tested it again. It looks

absolutely
same as new. No reason to sell them for lower price.

We aren't taking about car with a rolled back odometer. I hate to
break it to you, but if some company gets back a product
that has zero flaws, or has an element that when replaced renders the
whole new, then why should they have to sell it as used? Eyepieces
and related items do not "wear out" and if they are worn, it is
clearly visible to any buyer.

I beleive this refers to federal law but I'm not certain:


3. Reconditioned, Rebuilt, or Refurbished Goods
As with previously used goods, the reconditioned, rebuilt, or refurbished
nature of the goods must be disclosed prior to any sale. A related issue
arises with new products that contain a part or parts that have been
reconditioned or otherwise previously used. Even if the smallest component
has been refurbished, and the product is inspected to insure that it meets
original factory specifications, you are required to disclose the presence
of the restored component. For example, in a recent case, a computer was
manufacturer was sued for selling computers that contained a reconditioned
computer chip. As should be readily apparent, establishing and maintaining
an inventory control system that tracks and reflects the disposition of
product orders and returned merchandise is essential to avoid violating the
law. This system will enable you to ensure that products are sent to
customers in a timely manner and that returned merchandise is not
automatically restored to inventory without a proper inspection and, where
appropriate, a new label. Aside from complying with the law, you will better
insure that customers are not disappointed with the quality of your product
and that your good reputation remains intact.


It's my understanding that to sell anything that has required even the
slightest repair as new, is illegal in the US.
