I have the feeling that many refurbs are units that were simply returned because people didn’t understand Sansa quirks like MTP vs MSC, or thought the units woiuld play Apple’s m4a format.
It’s not profitable to fix them but someone who understands how they work can check that they are working.
There’s probably a regulation somewhere that anything that has been returned has to be physically marked.
I have 2 or 3 refurbs and they have all worked fine. Just check every function–including mic recording if you’ll be using that, and audiobooks with a sample or library book. And use it through some charging cycles to see how long the battery is lasting. If you have a problem get back to the seller with it.
I’ve actually bought a couple “broken” clip/fuze players from ebay, and aside from one with a broken wheel, all of them actually worked fine.
