I've recently been looking into vacuum sealers. Would love a chamber sealer, but the price just doesn't work for me right now. On their website, FoodSaver has their 5860 on sale, marked down from $370 to $246. Still more than I'd like to spend, so I checked it on Amazon, and that is a little less - $233 with free Prime shipping. But then I noticed the small "Used and New from $120" link and checked it out. For $120, they had one listed as "Used - Acceptable" with the note "Large cosmetic imperfection(s) on back or bottom. Item will come in original package. Package will be damaged."
I have gone back and forth with this decision since yesterday and decided to pull the trigger and buy it. I figure if the unit doesn't work, it gets sent back during the return period. If it does work, I couldn't care less about cosmetic damage, especially on the back or bottom. The big concern is that it works now, but stops working a few months from now and I'm out the purchase price. For the heavy discount, seemed worth the gamble to me - high risk, high reward.
