Factory refurb digicam from e-bay. Any concerns?

[FrustratedUser]

There are a lot of great deals on the Olympus C-700UZ on ebay right now.
Many come with extra memory + bag + batteries for less than $350.

Anyone with experience from factory refurbs? What to look out for?

officemax has these on sale for 299.99 if u can find em..... Also u can use a coupon to bring down a little from there

Dun think it's worth it at all. Dun bother looking for packages on ebay. Most of em' suck.

You might want to drop in on some of the ongoing good deals. i.e. S330 thread or something. It's better bought from retailers since they provide at least some guaraantee should something go wrong.

The S330 is a nice camera but I like the Olympus for its 10x optical zoom. It got good reviews and I will need the zoom.
Haven't found any at officemax yet.
