Graded VAX at £100 discount - is it worth it?

[mrsdarcy]

I want to get a VAX carpet washer and have found this one on ebay.

What is a graded product and why so much cheaper? Should I be hopping in pathetic excitement or should alarm bells be ringing?

TIA

.

i've just bought a graded digital camcorder and it works fine- I think it means it has been returned as faulty and now works - always a risk I guess, but as long as the seller has lots of +ve's and paypal is accpeted, you should be ok.

Thanks Milge. I've found this definition of "manufacturer graded":

Fully tested by the manufacturer these items are generally as new and supplied with a manufacturer guarantee, unless otherwise stated. An item can be Graded due to any of the following : discontinued / surplus stock, ex display / ex demo, slight cosmetic blemish, damaged packaging, undelivered stock, acc variation etc, Fully tested by Manufacturer and Guaranteed, Guarantee period can vary.

They take paypal and do a 1 year guarantee so it sounds like a goot bet.
