I couldn't see any price on the page you linked us to. Hard then to judge whether it is a good buy or not. Wacom is a tried and true company for tablets. They have many to choose from.

This looks very similar to the Wacom Graphire Tablet, I've purchased the Wacom, for my kids, for under $80 US, shipping included, . Check out the Wacom site for better info. They have an Asian division. After you see what you like, shop price. There is a pretty good range of prices, at least here in the USA. I use the Intous 3 for my own work.

Good find, Jin!

I think Wacom might even offer some sort of guarantee on their refurbushed tablets as well.

Hi Improv,

Last time I talked to someone at Wacom, about 6 weeks ago if memory serves, they assured me the following are still included with refurbished tablets:

A one year warranty
All of the software bundled with the new and more expensive tablets.

It pays to check the Refurbished Tablets page frequently as in the past the list changed frequently. I was surprised to see only one tablet today. Usually there are from 4 to 6, sometimes even more.

It would also pay to check everything I've said with Wacom to make sure they haven't changed anything since we talked

x2, but - i have an Aiptek 12000u A4 at home, and Intuos A5 at work - Aiptek is really good catch for its price - about 100$ for the A4 version. I have it for 4-5 years, and it proved to be a real workhorse - nothing broked or changed since the day 1. But if you can afford Wacom - go for it, even the low class versions Volito and Graphire will work nice for you :) Good luck!
