Just don't bother.
Refurbished product wouldn't work at all. Roku remotes habitually malfunction and you end up using a phone app for your remote.

Just as relevant today as in the 80s
0 of 5 found this helpful Oh yes, psychopathy/sociopathy is thriving in the USA. Deja vu, the soulless yuppies depicted in this book have lately been overrun by rebel flag waving rednecks, but whether 1% or not, the general mood is the same - sneer at the homeless, worship Trump, and spend outrageous amounts of money in order to feel good about yourself. Seeing as people routinely get away with murder (and worse crimes against humanity) these days, it doesn't seem that much is changed. The dreary obsessive descriptions of what everybody is wearing gets really old, but if we mentally replace that with an obsession with technology and what brand gadget everyone is holding, its a pretty seamless transition between then and now - we definitely value stuff over people.

Boring and pointless, don't waste your time and money on it.
I gave up half way through this, because I found it endlessly tiresome. The guy, a pretentious snob, goes on a mission to "slum it" with any thing he considers "what the white trash like". He wanders through restaurants, listens to artists, goes to plays and movies, watches TV, and blathers on and on and on about how he slowly gets addicted to all the things he once despised. By the middle of the book you realize you frankly don't care what this snotty guy thought of things that were popular 20 years ago, and it doesn't matter how the book ends because he is a tiresome, boring character whose 15 minutes of fame are long gone, if they ever existed in the first place.. First book I have ever just thrown in the trash halfway through it because I realize I wouldn't even recommend it to anybody and it no longer deserves to take up space anywhere.
