What would you buy that was "refurbished"

I've been shopping for a new TV lately (don't worry there will be more
to come on that in a later post I'm sure) and a lot of of online deals
are around for refurbished product. I started wondering what I would
buy that was refurbished and whether the risks of failure are higher
or not with a refurbished product (especially something predominantly
electronic). My first thought is that something that has Bern repaired
once is likely to have undergone closer scrutiny and therefore less
likely to fail. That said however, my Xbox 360 is staring down the
barrel of it's 3rd RROD and would tend to suggest otherwise.

I don't have a conclusion but would love to find some data on the subject. .
