The answer is Yes if you are a smart shopper. Finding a laptop that will meet your needs while at the same time saving you quite a sum of money is always a good thing. Buying a used or a refurbished laptop is a great option for many of us especially today with the economy the way it is right now.

There are a number of places to find used and refurbished laptops out there and probably the most common is here on the internet. eBay is my option for purchasing many items and I have had great results using them for many of my purchases. The computer that I am working on right now was purchased through eBay and I have no regrets with my purchase. There are many other sites out there that you can check Craigslist, Yahoo! shopping, Buy.com or you can do a Google search for used laptops and find sites which specialize in used and refurbished laptops as well.

I like eBay because there are many protection measures in place to assist you in making sure that you are dealing with an honorable person, nothing is fool proof however; but eBay does do a good job of filtering out a lot of these scammers that prey on the unwary shopper. Shop on craigslist and you are on your own! Also the Deals that you will find on eBay will generally beat any other deals on the internet today.

When buying a used laptop you should make sure that you ask some very important question from the buyer if they are not spelled out in their ads questions like:

• Do they have a return policy?
• Do they know of any problems with the laptop?
• Is their still a warranty left on the laptop and is it transferable?
• Is the battery still holding a charge or does it need a new one?
• How much are they charging for shipping the laptop?
• Do they still have the owners’ manuals for the laptop?

If you are wanting a laptop which is up to date on operating systems and have their accessories updated as well, you should look for refurbished laptops as many of these come with a complete upgrade with all the latest parts and accessories then they are tested even more vigorously then many of the new laptops making sure the operate correctly.

Buying a used laptops is a good way of saving some of your hard earned cash. Saving money is always the right way to shop or else it is just buying not shopping.
