Although the printers are refurbished make sure you double check everything. My 3D printer came missing a Nozzle, with a used build plate and some damage on the hotbed, tools/screws in a green ziplock snacks bags, and the aluminum plate slightly warped in one spot.
Not having a nozzle was a huge letdown since I can't run a test print to see how it works and am working with the seller to address this issue, but that should not have been a miss from their part. I will be buying nozzles of my own since Amazon is significantly faster than waiting for it to be rectified by the seller.
The build plates showed use before and it seems that Z offset calibration was off since there are scratches in the build plate. I then went to inspect the Hotbed and saw what looks to be a single point where the nozzle was dug in at the very edge of it. This may not bode will for me... but until I get a nozzle in (hopefully today), I won't know why this printer was refurbed.
I noticed a slight wobble on my printer after setting it up and decided to unscrewed all the screws on the bottom aluminum plate to make sure they were properly on. I found that the center screw was definitely too tight when I went to loosen them. So I re-tighten all the screws to hand tight specs and there isn't as big of a wobble anymore but now notice that one area of it flexes when I press on it vs every other areas. I tried a series of loosening and tightening but I will say that when I put it on a truly flat surface it seemed ok and not to wobble too much. So I can't be sure if the base is not warped or if it's just the aluminum plate. But I'm taking my chances until I can run some test prints.
So as a big big warning, I don't advise these refurbs for new people into the maker space. If you really want one, get a brand new one that hopefully has better QA. But if you just want something that mostly works, go get a Bambu Mini or something. Think of it like buying a used Car, you don't know what you're getting until you have it for awhile.
Although I had a bit to say I don't mind any of the above as I've gotten the worst from a Ender 3 Pro already and do enjoy the tinkering and messing with it. So I'll probably keep it as long as things get better from here.

One benefit of this price is that you can get 2-3 printers for the price of one equivalent Bambu. There's much to be said about running multiple print jobs at once rather than waiting around for one unit.
So really, the E3v3SE is a good starter printer and also a good production printer as well.

And it has a direct drive sprite extruder
It's a total game changer from non V3 enders
As for this deal, it keeps coming up. If you get a good example then you got a really nice starter printer for a very good price. But a number of people have complained about the delivered printer being something other than "refurbished". For this reason I would treat this deal with caution.

I wouldn't recommend these even if mine hasn't melted down but back feed into the housing was the icing on the cake

The seller is kind of hit or miss. My plate came with massive scrapes, scuffing, a hole, & PLA still melted onto it. The seller said they'd send me a replacement but I haven't heard from them in a week. But the printer itself came it great shape. I still think it was a very good deal for $92.
I've been printing using masking tape & a glue stick. It works surprisingly well. I bought Creality PLA & the grey sucks (the base layer always has gaps & it strings more than the others). Black & white are alright though.
