Used Like new most times means open box unit and seller cannot place marketing price on it anymore. Simple! I only buy Used like new because it is way cheaper and has 0.0001% difference from brand new.. i bought a 54" plasma used like new and it was in original everything..prolly some customer opened it and put it back in the box..lol..thanks warehouse!!I know this is a very old post..but for people still wondering in 2011 here you go..

I got my TV on Monday. If it was used I can't tell. It's in excellent condition! No complaints whatsoever. I'll be posting a review on the TV in the next couple of days. Suffice it to say, all the rave reviews live up to the breathtaking performance of this TV.

I purchased two items from Amazon warehouse that were labled as "used - like new". One was a 32 inch TV and the other was a home theater system. Both items came packaged in original box with all documentation. They appeared totally new to me, as if they came right from the factory. You could tell by the way the set was placed in the box that it had never been removed. There were absolutely no blemishes of any kind and both items work perfectly. I saved a LOT of money. Bottom line, if it says used - like new, you are safe to assume it will be in excellent condition. Besides, if there is a problem, you have 30 days to return for a full refund. And if the item doesn't work, Amazon will pay the return shipping I think. I purchased two items from Amazon warehouse that were labled as "used - like new".

I posted my review. Click on customer reviews and then "newest first." I look forward to your review after you purchase this amazing set. :-)

Please post when you receive the tv. I am also planning on getting a used-like new set and cannot seem to find many stories about anyone buying this.

vilasgn,I also took the gamble with a used-very good. The tv showed up 2 days ago, and it looks great, like brand new. We can't figure out what's supposed to be wrong with it, for them to take off $300, but I am glad I went for it. Fingers crossed you'll have the same experience I did.

thanx for the info--being in my financial condition, it is either wait another few months to purchase or pull the trigger and get a "used like new"--i have already missed the ncaa and the masters--i hate to miss all of baseball season! am looking forward to your review.

Also purchased a Used-Like New set from amazon warehouse which said it had "minor cosmetic damage to housing" What damage??? I inspected the TV and the only "cosmetic issues" I found was dust! It was definately worth the purchase from amazon warehouse considering the $300 savings. Haven't posted a review, but if you would like calibration settings for your LN46a650, I definately recommend going to the AVS Forums @ avsforums.com. They have a whole thread there where people post their different calibration settings!

I got my "used-like-new" TV yesterday. The TV is still wrapped in adhesive plastic, and comes in the original box. As the name says it is like new. The delivery service was also good. Came 2 days before the estimated date. They came and verified that the TV is working. I am satisfied with the pruchase.

For the most time, When AMAZON advertise the Item to be BRAND NEW, it normally is. I can not say anything for the SUB-SELLERS on Amazon, cuz that is an individual matter from case to case. As one of our fellow Amazonian's mentioned earlier, he/she had received a Used item direct from Amazon. thou rare, the restocking is done by human interaction, and that always leaves the margin for error to happen. but I believe, and from personal experience, Know that amazon.com will stand behind their product and will adjust any such errors promptly. I can say that based on my experience with Amazon.com, some 18 yrs or so, since the Mid 1990's For the most time, When AMAZON advertise the Item to be BRAND NEW, it normally is.

We are unsure what item you are asking about, but it could be possible that it is not coming directly from an Amazon warehouse.Therefore the item you are looking at could be coming from a separate supplier who does not offer Prime. So, even if you pay for Prime through Amazon be sure to check each listing to assure that the supplier selling under Amazon provides Prime. It should tell you whether Prime is offered or not from that listing. We hope this information was helpful.

Which warehouses did the good ones and bad ones come from? My bad one came from the warehouse in VA. My new one that gets here tomorrow is coming from a warehouse in KS. Looks like Amazon has all of their stock on hold right now to figure out what is going on. Major props to Amazon for the action on this issue.

I am trying to figure out why some people get a complet set an some don't. Are you all buying from Amazon that get the complete set or from a specific reseller?

The unit I purchased was new. It still operates well. If you'll recall, I was railing against refurbished units and a reader directed me to a site where new units were available.

I am looking at buying a used tv from amazon.com warehouse with "small cosmetic damage" to the housing of the tv and wanted to know what your experience was with what you posted here.I greatly appreciate your input!

I just matched what amazon lowest price was. It is new and never been used and came from a high end retail store. Let me know if you need anything else

what everyone should know about buying genuine products from amazon: there are TONS of different sellers, and amazon will show you different ones as the default depending on what's convenient for them (i guess?) or what's cheapest. best to ALWAYS go with the "amazon fullfilled" sellers rather than clicking on the "used and new" to get a "better" deal, because they can ship you whatever they feel like from who knows where.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't off amazon and not used just new, but if you buy it off ebay they will cover a used item so they might cover refurbished from ebay, call 1 877 WARRANTY and click on claim then tell them you just have a quick question before they get all you info. Sorry I don't know more than that.

I have purchased two of the 750gb drives via Amazon.com (Amazon.com was the direct seller, not a 3rd party seller) and they were both new/sealed. And unless you already know this; I have been told from a Amazon customer service agent (live phone call) that unless the Amazon product page says refurb, then the item is brand new; Amazon "direct sold" items are always supposed to be new. This of course does not have anything to do if you are looking at items sold from one of amazon's many 3rd party sellers.

No. Please make sure to buy a new one if you are looking for a new one. Do not buy a used one and think it is new.

Hi. I'm not really sure what used means on amazon. I've never purchased anything from the site that was used. Mine was New in the Box. Sorry....

Mostly likely they are real. I watched reviews on YouTube and the packaging was the same thing. But I don't know if the seller is secretly selling used ones and listing them as new.

Unless stated otherwise on Amazon product info it will be new. Used items are clearly marked as used so you always know which you're buying. The item I purchased was new.

The casters should have been packed within this new item. This leads me to think they were not. You must contact Amazon therefore to put in a formal complaint which they will resolve IMO/most likely. However, if you picked up used, I guess you'll have to contact the manufacturer or check out stores like Lowes.

If they sell it as new on Amazon, I doubt it'd be used. Amazon isn't like Ebay, they are pretty straight with their business partners about shady stuff like this.
