When we go on Amazon, we find what we want and buy it. It's brand new normal price. But did you know you can sometimes get that same exact product cheaper, slightly used through Amazon's warehouse? But is it worth it? And how's the quality, how in the world do you even get to this section on the Amazon site? Let me show you real quick. So right at the top of the regular amazon.com site or on your mobile, right to the left of the search bar, it says all I want you to click on that then scroll down to Amazon warehouse right here. Then look at that. You can type in shoes, you can type in electronics, let's do electronics, right? Click on that and boom, everything available in electronics for these cheaper prices from the Amazon warehouse gonna populate right? For you. Items are rated and priced in four different categories like new meaning perfect working condition. Very good, meaning good condition, limited use, maybe some minor imperfections, good, meaning the item has moderate wear and acceptable. Meaning the item has clear signs of usage, maybe noticeable scratches or dents, but it's fully functional. Let's start right here with the apple watch brand new. If you were to buy, this would cost $390. We went on Amazon Warehouse and in the category used like new. We bought this at *** discount for just $326. That's *** $64 savings. The question is, I mean, that's great. Does it work to see if it works? My producer, Kelly gives me *** call. Oh, there it is. There's my producer Kelly calling and it's working on my apple watch. So, yeah, it works. And we save some money. We save even more with this next product. An air fryer and this one is listed as acceptable. The lowest level there is we save nearly $65 packaging is pretty good. It even comes with the owner's manual. I mean, we bought it used acceptable, but this looks pretty new to me. The question is, does it work? Let's make some fries. Ok. So far. So good stop. But now for the moment of truth, see how our fries are. Take *** look at that pretty good. I hear them. You can hear them like sizzling thought it's good. It works. But the biggest savings right here with these beats headphones, we saved $110 buying them used. Very good. I've hooked them up to my phone. I've called up, uh one of my old Rawson reports because I listen to myself all day. I have issues it works perfectly. Yeah, I mean, really great. Sound love it over $100 in savings. May as well be brand new. I'm telling you at the end of the day, our grand total nearly $240 in savings. Still not sure it's worth the risk we get. This Amazon says its warehouse items are covered in its return policy. You can actually get your money back if you return it within 30 days back to you.
