Refurbished Creative Zen

Does anyone recommend buying refurbished stuff from the creative website.

€120 seems like a bargain. I've never really heard back feedback from people regarding Creative.

well i got refurb 2 players a micro ,and a zen ,it takes 5,0r 6hours to charge em by usb,i get maybe 6, 7 hours battery life on mp3s.they all looked brand new 2 me.JUST hold on to receipt for 12months,and box ,cdrom,everything ,if theres a problem ,you have a gaurantee.ITS worth buying a creative charger ,charges in 60mins approx.wait til the battery goes to zero be4 charging, the first charge is conditioning ,so be careful about it ,you can set aside a few gig as an external DATA storage folder ,i think they are better designed than an ipod ,check can the battery be replaced on the 30gig model.
other chargers don,t work on creative players .i always wait ,and charge the zenfrom zero battery state for 5 hours approx ,til the charged ICON appears .

So unless otherwise stated the item sold (eg zen mp3 player) comes without earphones, charger etc?

THEY come with a pouch, usb cable, and software cdrom, manual and earphones ,thats it,Order the charger when you order the player if you wish , ,it costs around 25euro, at least you save on delivery charges,you can also charge thru usb takes approx 5hours.IST time charge make take longer,i cant remember ,got a zen plus in 2007.See creative support for info re charging time,
an icon with line/arrow appears when charging is complete.

Got the charger free with mine! Great backup MP3 player. Due to its size, you won't be lugging it around with you!
