Or they may be complete crap, as is the case with my Jabra Journey Bluetooth refurb or maybe they are just that bad?

Buyer beware, I bought an Incipio sleeve for my RT from this seller (how do you refurb a sleeve?). Looked new but had no zipper pull so it could not be closed. They refunded my purchase and also did not want the sleeve returned. I would bet they sell all the surface returns that users brought back to the original seller. Assuming the product is OK this is a good deal but who has the manpower to "manufacturer refurbish" thousands of surface tablets? With a feedback of only 500 or so I would be cautious.

or they can be a nightmare that someone else wants to pawn off on you for whatever cash they can get.

Normally, I would be worried about what you get on such an auction, but considering the volume of unsold stock MS supposedly has, I think odds are pretty good that they are new. I cant imagine its worth repairing or recertifying defective returns when you have a warehouse full of new ones.

I did, and a coworker bought two for him and his wife. Ordered them last week on Friday, shipped on Tuesday because of Labor day and got them in yesterday (south east US).
Except for the "refurbished" markings, everything seems identical to the new one I purchased several months ago as far as condition and the packaging. "Refurbished" appears to have been printed on the box by Microsoft so my assumption is that the refurb was performed by them.
I honestly wasn't happy with my last one for $499, but was going to reconsider if they got down to $299 w/cover. So for $199 I'm extremely happy with it.
I bought one as well, 32GB Microsoft Surface RT Tablet bundle with Black Touch Cover, $199, minus quadruple e-bucks, $16 - what a deal!
"Refurbished" stickers were easily removed, and the item did not show any previous handling.
I've been looking for my next computer for several months and thought the chromebook would be the ticket: liked the security feature, auto-updating, and cost. However, I just couln't get past the lack of MS Office.
Surface RT with touch cover created sticker shock . . . until an eBay alert got me to view this deal . . . and I jumped on it.
I could not be happier!!!
