Amazon’s secret renewed section offers Beats, iPads and more – save up to 70%

Coming straight from the Big Duh desk: Amazon is brimming with deals on brand new products. But did you know that if you dive into the world of Amazon Renewed, their prices are even better? What the heck is Amazon Renewed? It’s a secret Amazon section where you can find refurbished electronics and home appliances with discounts of up to 60%. We’ll give you a minute to find out. It turns out that Amazon accepts trade-ins for top-of-the-line products from popular brands, inspects and refurbishes those items, and then makes them available — like new — at shockingly low prices. And for you skeptics out there, there’s no need to worry: every product is backed by the Amazon Renewed Guarantee, which promises a replacement or refund within 90 days if the item doesn’t perform as expected.

And of course, Prime members get free fast shipping on Amazon Renewed purchases, just like the main site. Not a member yet? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here.

You will be impressed by the quality of the products available at AR and even more so by the prices. In the mix: Beats Studio3 wireless headphones for $171 ($61 off a brand new pair) and an Apple iPad Air for $411 off!

As for the fine print, the products are delivered in excellent working condition, tested and thoroughly cleaned by professional technicians. Some items may not ship in their original packaging, but they do come complete with the necessary accessories. While some items may not be entirely scratch-free, Amazon guarantees “no visible cosmetic defects when held at arm’s length.” Meaning even though the elements are not new-new, you’ll hardly notice a difference – except in terms of the money you save.

Here are some of the bargains currently available on Amazon Renewed:

“Looks like new!” writes an excited shopper who picked up a refreshed Apple Watch in Space Gray. “The watch looks and works just as well as a new one. Honestly, IDK as to why it’s even called used – it was still in its original packaging, like I bought it brand new from an AT&T store. Thanks guys – much appreciated!”
