I see on ebay there is several Moultrie M-80 refurbished auctions. I've got two M-80's and like them alot. What is everybodies take on these refurbs?
I picked up a refurbished range finder that looked brand new from Natchezss. EBay...I don't know if I would trust as much as that may be a final attempt to sell the item. As always: do your research.
Moultrie replaced two of my cameras with refurbished ones and only one worked from the box. Since they "didn't have to send anything" they wouldn't help me any further. Got me a Stealth Cam, no complaints.
All electronics are hit/miss in my book.... you get what you pay for. But i'm not afraid of trying a refurb or a used camera... $$ is right go for it.
I bought a bunch of refurb Moultrie D55-irxt's this year for $60 a pop and they are fantastic cameras and all have functioned flawlessly. I've also bought refurb GPS's (Rino 535's), etc in the past. I've never had a problem with any of them.
Refurbished could be okay but the problems I had with my m80s I wouldn't spend $5 on a refurbished one.
