This is how I put together put my Home Theater and Audio Sound System and you may want make use of this like a general guide in terms of what I learned through trial and error.
Buying Used or Refurbished Items
I have a few rules I like to recommend you abide when you try to find cd players:
1.Make sure it comes with the original manual and remote control, that will make reselling it, in case you chose to do so, easier.
2. Ensure that it really is described as in very good or better condition from a seller in the US (or the country you reside in).
3. Pass on any item which the seller has described previous problems with.
4.Be cautious not to purchase anything that says you can't return it or you may get stuck with it.
5. Only buy from someone with a lot of feedback whose positive percentage is 90% or better. Most of the time I won't buy from anyone with feedback of 10 or less, if you are putting up $150 or more, I'd increase that to twenty feed backs. Regardless of whether you do pass up some legitimate people in the process with that rule, the chances are good that the item will show up again in the next a couple of months roughly from the seller with feedback of 20 or better. What I'm saying is, don't rush things when you do not have to. It's a good idea pay by paypal only. This way if there is a problem, paypal will help resolve it and/or get your money back.
Don't buy these refurbished items:
Be careful buy a used or refurbished home audio cd players under any circumstances. You may be asking for trouble if you do. Do not buy a used or refurbished DVD player, Universal player or DVD recorder under Any circumstances. They are made with a limited life in mind.
If you've heard or seen any system personally that you liked, I would go by that first to decide what to purchase. What I wouldn't do is go to a store & make your decision based on what you hear or see there. In many cases for example, the HDTV's aren't actually showing HD shows in the shop because they're not receiving HD signals or the sound system is giving lousy sound due to bad acoustics, bad ambiance and improperly set controls which the salesperson is pretending not to notice. Should you ignore everything, let the buyer beware, at least bring a CD and/or DVD of your choice to sample their system, not the stores generic ones.
I would check out Forum sites and see which components or system, are constantly being praised and then read Online Reviews and information from the Manufacturer and base your decision on that. Likewise use the forums to ask about a specific product.
David Willow has be buying new and use cd players for years and hoped this information has helped.
