Our Deals are So Good that Some Think NoBetterDeal.com is a SCAM! That’s just crazy.

If these people understood how and where we get our product, they probably wouldn’t be so skeptical.  I would like to take a minute to explain the background of NoBetterDeal.com as well as the behind the scenes activity that allows us to deliver a website with some of the best deals around.

NoBetterDeal.com was launched on February 10, 2009 by GENCO Marketplace, a subsidiary of GENCO ATC Product Lifecycle Logistics, which works with retailers and manufacturers to liquidate their returned and surplus product.  GENCO Marketplace is a Better Business Bureau (BBB) Accredited Business with an A rating.  For more details, please click here.  Every day GENCO Marketplace liquidates more than $5 million worth of product, most of which is sold in carton, pallet and truckload quantities.  A select portion of new and like-new product is purchased by GENCO and listed for sale as single units on NoBetterDeal.com.  

According to GENCO Marketplace CEO, Robert R. Auray, Jr., “What makes this web store different is that we source our products from the secondary market.  Each year, billions of dollars worth of surplus inventory and returns are liquidated at a small fraction of their retail value, even though a majority of the goods are high-quality, fully functional items.  Because our products are sourced from quality liquidation stock, NoBetterDeal.com can offer discounts shoppers rarely see, even at the most aggressive clearance sales.”  In most cases, shoppers save up to 60% just by purchasing from NoBetterDeal.com instead of from their local retail store.

I am sure that you all have heard of the secondary market, but just in case some of you are unfamiliar with the term, I want to keep the bases covered.  The secondary market literally refers to a second market for goods, and the types of goods that we are talking about consist of customer returns, shelf pulls, overstock merchandise, discontinued items, out-of-season goods, etc.   These are the products that retailers and manufacturers have on hand that either came back to them or simply didn’t sell.  In order to make room for new product, they need to get rid of this merchandise and they usually want to do so in a hurry since it costs big money to store and handle it.  So more often than not, these items end up being sold to a wholesaler, like GENCO Marketplace, to be resold in the secondary market (or on NoBetterDeal, of course).

NoBetterDeal.com offers a variety of products with the largest presence in the electronics category.  Bargain shoppers can find flat screen HDTVs, laptop and desktop PCs, DVD players, iPods, home theater systems, camcorders, digital cameras and more at unbelievable prices.  Additional sections of the website include Kids & Baby, Sporting Goods, Furniture, House wares, Small Appliances and Health and Beauty, just to name a few.  And with the help of new accounts that GENCO Marketplace has recently brought on board – these product categories are expected to become more plentiful in the near future.    

Plus, with NBD’s extended 30 Day Money Back Guarantee on all items and a 60 Day Return Policy on Refurbished items – NoBetterDeal.com doesn’t leave much to be doubtful about!

Follow us THROUGH THE WAREHOUSE and see our Refurbishment Process for Yourself!

We know that many people are skeptical about purchasing refurbished products and we understand that the “Refurbished” label on a product seems scary when you don’t know what the process entails.  So the NoBetterDeal.com team has decided to bring the Refurb Process straight to you!  We will be breaking our process down into video segments to capture each step an item undergoes before it is listed for sale.   This journey will be titled “Laptop Lifestyle: A Trip Back to the Future.” We must admit, we think you’ll be impressed with our thorough, high-level testing and the high-quality of finished products!

Before our first video clip is posted, here’s a bit of Refurb information that may be useful for your future shopping experiences: 

Refurbished items are goods from the consumer supply chain that have been thoroughly inspected and cautiously restored to the original factory condition with 100% satisfaction.  When we say consumer chain, we mean that the product came from one of three sources:  Consumer Returns, Factory or Retail Overstock, or a Manufacturer Discontinued product line.  While it is true that some refurbished product may have been defective, it is not true in all cases. 

The most common misconception about refurbished items is the “junk” concept.  It is thought by many that these products are nothing more than crap that was broken/ defective before being repaired.  In reality, it’s quite the contrary.  You will see in our videos that only a small percentage of “refurbished” items have defective components and the cosmetic appearance is comparable with that of a new product.

There are several advantages to purchasing Refurbished items.  The first and probably the most obvious is lower cost for the consumer.  It isn’t unlikely to save up to 30% of retail on an item bought refurbished rather than brand new.  Also, many manufacturers still provide a warranty on their refurbished merchandise.  To be on the safe side, however, make sure that you make a refurb purchase from a trusted source (like NoBetterDeal.com!).  But if you shop elsewhere, make sure to do a bit of research to find out if the product will come with a warranty, whether or not there’s an option to purchase an extended warranty, or if the item is covered by a secure return policy.
