With no previous experience? Probably not. Now? I'd... be "very cautious" about buying a refurbished computer. Especially from someone that deals in "used" computers. You're probably better off buying from an honest individual making a one-time sale, actually. (The problem there of course is knowing whether or not the individual*is* honest.)
My experience has been different. I bought a motherboard from Craig's list from a local, It worked for a couple of weeks and died, refused to complete the POST. He didn't want to hear about it, it was as is I guess. Computers I've bought on-line from dealers specializing in used equipment have always worked and held up long enough for me to want to replace them with something newer. They have even settled problems with a phone call.
Today's problem is solved. I e-mailed them this morning and they responded this afternoon. The dealer support guy [ZoomUsa] requested the system number, I provided it, and he immediately returned the password required with the necessary instructions. Problem solved within 24 hours of receiving the equipment! Now I can install Fedora on it.
