Bring the boys out,

 

I'm looking at purchasing a used MSI GS63VR off of amazon for ~$1100. A little hesitant to buy used, and i was wondering if anyone has any experience with:

 

1. Amazons laptop/used electronics return policy

2. General experience with used laptops on amazon, ie positive or not

3. Experience with this specific seller perhaps. (LPI?)

Thanks so much!

never bought used tech before, but i have a lot of trust in Amazon. I think Amazon quality check anything they sell 2nd hand unlike ebay so you will probs be ok. No Idea how their warranty/support works on used items though.

Whenever it says " Available from these sellers. " I tend to avoid purchasing it if it's not the original manufacturer. Never trust someone's definition of used unless you've talked with them thoroughly about it. You'll end up with something that's not quite broken but not quite satisfactory and too much hassle to return.
