Looking at your list of purchased refurbished items it's clear to see you prefer 'high end / top end' items. I always buy what could be considered to be 'low end / bottom end' items. My mobile phone is Android (I refuse to pay over £100 for a mobile phone), my laptop, which I purchased in April after my previous one died after 8 years and 3 months, is HP, and my tablet is Lenovo.
Due to price differences between our items I always buy brand new because I can afford too. But then I would never even consider looking at the items you purchased because they are far too expensive in the first place.
And that's where the difference lays.
