I love refurbished electronics! I got my Cuisinart (Keurig) for $100 when they were still $200 new. My microwave is refurbished and so is my smart watch. I just don't see the need to pay full retail when I can get the same thing for smaller dollars, lol! Oh and both Garmins are refurbished, too! Can't remember what else but I know I
buy a lot of stuff that way. Oh! My Vitamix! Got that for $150 off retail with the same warranty as a new one.

I think it's great you got a Nikon. You can't beat the picture quality from that camera!
