They're $40 and brand new is $60.
As a secondary gaming drive, I'd absolutely do this. As a primary drive, I'd spend the extra $20 for peace of mind.

I bought a 1 TB refurbished 860 in April and it works fine. Usage on it was only a few hours when I received it.
They gave me a report that show exactly how many bad blocks they'd mapped off so they wouldn't be a future problem (423,117).
So far, looks good.
