If you’re after an early Black Friday Ring doorbell deal, or perhaps a Black Friday Ring camera deal, then it looks like you’ll have to wait a bit longer for a worthwhile bargain – unless, that is, you’re happy to buy a refurbished model.

Right now Amazon.com has some big discounts on its refurbished Ring doorbells and cameras, including $30-off its versatile Stick Up cam, and $60-off its premium Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2.

Plus, when you factor in that these refurbished models are already cheaper than their completely new counterparts, then these bargains look even better. If one takes your fancy then you might not need to wait for November 25 for a good deal after all.

If you don’t wait to pick up a refurbished gadget then don’t worry. The deals on new Ring devices are pretty lackluster but we expect more deals will appear in the coming weeks that better match our expectations for Black Friday deals. But for now, those of you after a deal will have to settle for something refurbished.

In fairness though, buying refurbished tech isn’t always a bad thing. For one it’s often cheaper than buying new even without any deals – so the ones above just them better bargains – but also the gadgets have gone through various checks to ensure they’re in full working (and parts are replaced if necessary). Amazon is so confident that its tech will be like new that Certified Refurbished products have the same warranty as new models – for Ring devices that’s one year.

The only thing to be wary of is that deals on refurbished tech are more likely to sell out, as Amazon’s warehouses only have so many previously used models to ship. So if you see a discount you like you might want to act fairly fast or risk missing out.
