Hi,
I have purchased such tools and would again. I have read about a couple of "bosch" problems which at least for a while provided a good number of returns and thus easy to repair and resell routers (switch issue and corrosion issue).
When tools are returned most places return them to the manufacture for credit, in this case bosch who decides what and if any repairs need to be made.... Some tools are returned with no problems at all but they too are looked at. Since they can not be sold as "new" they are sold as you indicated.
I also have to say I have had one tool, a die grinder that "exploded" when I turned it on. Let me explain by what I mean by "exploded".... It had a plastic fan inside and when I first turned it on the fan went to pieces...... I switched it off shook out a lot of little plastic bits and returned it to the outlet center and got another one which has seen a lot of years of use. I guess what I'm saying is they are not 100% so you situation my prove different then mine.
