[c-nsp] Cisco Refurbished Equipment Program

[Powers, Kenny]

When you RMA a part back to Cisco refurb, they send you another refurbished part back.  I am myself a provider of secondary market hardware and have gone through Cisco refurb a few times for my clients.  My opinion on it would be that Cisco does not put a whole lot of emphasis on this program and can sometimes have shoddy product and not great service at high prices.  If you are looking to save some money, find a company that specializes in off lease asset redistribution (of course I prefer to say use mine, but there are several good companies out there, most better than Cisco' program).  A good provider like this should be cheaper and give you a better warranty.  Please let me know if you all have any other questions you would like answered,

Kenny

What I believe is most of the parts would be refurbished , even for
the first buy.

Even when you do RMA , you get refurbished parts.

How do you make sure that the part is a new one or refurbished.
