Refurbished [refurbished]. While your product isn’t new, it has been professionally restored to working order so that it appears new, and it comes with a warranty. The product might or might not be in its original packaging. This is sometimes referred to as "remanufactured".
Used [used]. Your product is second-hand. For example, the product has been used before, the original packaging has been opened, or the original packaging is missing.

Best practices
