Summary
Highlights
A 'like new' comforter set, 76% off at $22 (new $90), arrived with damaged outer packaging but the comforter itself was still vacuum-sealed, indicating it was never opened and a significant saving for a new item.
The video introduces Amazon Resale, a section of Amazon offering used products at significantly discounted prices (60-90% off). The main question explored is the actual condition and functionality of these items.
Amazon Resale offers a 30-day return policy, similar to new products, as long as it's from Amazon Resale directly. An Otterbox iPad case, 'certified refurbished' and 68% off ($21 compared to $66.75 new), looks perfect with no blemishes.
A Mr. Coffee machine in 'acceptable' condition, discounted by 75% ($50.78 compared to $199.99 new), appeared new externally. However, during testing, it malfunctioned, spilling coffee, marking the first failed purchase, highlighting the risk of acceptable condition items.
A mini Coca-Cola fridge in 'acceptable' condition, 50% off ($25 compared to $50 new), had minor cosmetic blemishes as expected. It came with the necessary plug and functioned perfectly, cooling quickly.
A JBL Bluetooth speaker, described as 'like new' and 39% off ($19 compared to $180 new), arrived looking great and worked perfectly after being connected to a phone. Another successful purchase.
A Black & Decker power drill, 'like new' and 32% off ($47.55 compared to $70 new), came with slightly ripped packaging but included all drill bits and a charger. The drill functioned perfectly in both forward and reverse.
A Revlon Volumizer, more than 53% off, looked new with no blemishes and worked perfectly, heating up and cooling down as expected, representing a great deal.
A child's play seat, 82% off, was missing one of its six legs, but only five are needed, making it a functional bargain. BCBG sandals were an incredible 91% off ($8 compared to $88 new), appearing unworn and indistinguishable from new.
A Fire tablet, 54% off ($69 compared to $150 new), came professionally packaged with a charger. It had no blemishes, powered on perfectly, connected to Wi-Fi, and Google functioned, making it an excellent find for a 'used' item.
The video concludes that Amazon Resale offers significant bargains, with most tested products working perfectly, despite one major malfunction (the coffee maker). The overall experience suggests it's a worthwhile gamble due to the large discounts and 30-day return policy.
A pair of 'like new' used Apple AirPods, discounted by 23% ($90 compared to $117 new), are tested. Despite repackaging, they function perfectly, looking and sounding brand new, confirming the 'like new' classification.
