How do you feel about refurbished phones (Note 3)?

Thinking about buying a Note 3 off eBay to replace my wife's Note 3 which has been updated to 4.4.4 and can't be rooted. Looking for a 4.4.2 model to root and be able to use the Mobile HotSpot without incurring charges.



Have any of you guys taken a chance on refurbished phones? Have your experiences been good or bad?



Thanks.
