            What price are you getting quoted for an HMT?

                To be clear, there is no way they're refurbishing them "to brand new condition." That would basically mean building an entirely new unit and selling it for a lower price. All they're doing is replacing the parts that have a limited life, ie. the flash and battery. The 6 month warranty is to make sure nothing else fails. No way they're replacing all of the internals.

                    Sorry about your hurt feeling bro. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt it. That's not how refurb programs work.

                      I have zero clue what they are refurbbing but in my business a referb is windex and replacing a few high wear parts.

                        You might find it's brand new condition to the eye...
                        When we refurb stuff at my work, we sent it away to get it looking new - as well as repairing / replacing some parts that need it.
                        In Foresight's case, this may be replacing the battery / flash - and the plastic housing. That way the new owner feels like they are getting a new unit as there are no marks / scrapes on it... and the cost of the housing is probably next to nothing.

                            Does the Bluetooth work on yours or are they disabling that on these refurb units?

                                        Final word that we heard from John several weeks ago is that they are not going to disable or otherwise cripple bluetooth on any GC2 units at this time.

                                        EDIT: see post #13 in this thread
                                        as additional info, they recently repaired my bluetooth (got it back a couple weeks ago) and it works with 3rd party, no problem.
