Target Sells “Used” Electronics

Target has become the first major retailer to offer refurbished products. Instead of sending returns or defective items back to vendors, they’re fixing some of them and reselling them at a discount.  Each item — including flat-screen TVs, GPS devices and iPods — have been refurbished by “either a manufacturer-authorized or Target-managed third party” and deemed “essentially good as new.” Response to the web-only experiment, begun just over a month ago, has reportedly been good, but the Minneapolis-based chain isn’t yet sure it’ll continue it.
