They always seem to have a endless supply of refurbs. Quality control issues, or nature of the beast?

I think they're influencer/convention/ and display samples. Still worth it imo, but not this deal in particular lol

I don't actually know the answer, but I don't ever really see open box or used-like-new deals for these, so I imagine they're just returns and they say "refurbished" so buyers aren't worried about what the last guy did to the battery.

Why get this, when you can get one https://www.ebay.com/itm/146883759427 with an extra 5000mAh power bank for the same price?

I think sometimes people doesn't understand what a power station is. They see low price and think it can power their fridge for days or their entire home. There are so many power station post at SD with commenters asking how long it will power their house or fridge. So, I think some of the returns is people not understanding power draw vs power station capacity. I have 2 of these for my Raspberry Pis because this will last HOURS for the Raspberry Pi.

The returns are from the single divorced homeowner that wants to run the fridge,microwave, and coffee pot and doesn't want a big one because it's too heavy to move around.
