DABS Clearance

Hi, I was thinking of purchasing a clearance/b-grade netbook from DABS.

Anyway, can anyone tell me if I should beware making such a purchase or if I'll potentially find a bargain? Thx.

    Check prices elsewhere. DABS isn't the cheapest at the best of times and a new one may be cheaper.Grade B will have cosmetic damage.

    There certainly are bargains to be had at DABS , and you can also ask for a refund if all is not good!!

    I got my current LG monitor there for half-price (LG 2053) .. nothing wrong with it , in fact it hadn't been out of the box by the look of it although it was listed as 'Used Goods'!
    Not long after that I bought a Nvidia graphics card also half-price , this was listed as 'Refurbished' .. sadly it didn't work so I got a full refund!

    DABS is a reputable site, but the prices are usually inflated compared to the competition, you can find better deals by shopping around

    Dabs was once a great retailer, then BT purchased it .... downhill since.

    Dabs.com & Jungle.com (remember them)? They were usually the cheapest also jungle had a store near me.

    Now its ebuyer and play. Ebuyer can be good or bad when it comes to returns. Had issues with play for the 1st time
    this year. Saying they would charge me a restocking fee for something which was badly made & poor quality.
