When I was a kid, my parents were real supportive of me when it came to big purchases. I remember in high school taking piano lessons and wanting to buy a synthesizer. Sure, I had one of those cheesy Casio keyboards. You know, the kind that plays the rumba and other repetitive cheesiness with the touch of a button. But what I wanted was a Yamaha DX7.
My dad told me if I saved up enough money to pay for half of it (I think the full price was around $600 or $800), he would match the other half. So I worked, saved, and eventually bought it. Thing is, a synthesizer doesn’t have a built-in speaker. Nope. You need to plug it into an amp or stereo somehow.
I used my dad’s stereo at first, but then we took a trip to the local Sam Ash and I found the perfect huge amp. This sucker was big and featured three inputs. Thing is, an amp is expensive too. But that day, they had a huge floor model sale. So I ended up buying the amp I wanted for only about $150 (instead of $300 or $400). And you know what? It worked great!
That day, I learned a big lesson. Refurbished and used electronics can work as well as new ones. Heck, I’ve had plenty of computers, cameras, etc. that were broken, even though they were completely brand new.
That’s why a site like CowBoom.com is just all kinds of awesome. Part of the Best Buy family, CowBoom offers refurbished and pre-owned electronics at some seriously discounted prices. Plus, you have nothing to lose, thanks to a money-back guarantee.
