Overlap · The apps
Renewed is not a second new one
This overlap is a small one and it is here because getting it wrong is easy and cheap to prevent. A renewed device and a new device can carry nearly identical listing text. The difference is one word.
That word is not a criticism. Plenty of households buy renewed hardware deliberately and are pleased with it. What matters is that the buyer knows before the order, not after the box arrives.
The beam shows one side only. A new streaming stick and A renewed streaming stick are choices between each other, not two things in one room.

Already doing this job
A new streaming stick
The listing states: free and live TV, an Alexa Voice RemoteAmazon Fire TV Stick HD
A new listing states what the box contains and what the device does, and the condition is not mentioned because there is nothing to mention.
Most of this catalog is in that position, which is precisely why the one exception has to be labeled everywhere it appears.
What might be added
A renewed streaming stick
The listing states: the listing is marked RenewedRoku Streaming Stick 4K (Renewed)
Renewed is a stated seller condition. What it covers, who inspected the device and what the return terms are is set by the seller program, not by this site.
It appears on exactly one listing in this catalog, and the word is printed on the card, in the comparison table, in the tools and in every sentence here that mentions it.
What ends up doubled
This is not a second one
A renewed device is a different purchase, not a duplicate one, and the difference is a condition rather than a feature.
1
listing in this catalog is marked Renewed by the seller.
51
of the others state no condition at all, which for a new item is nothing to state.
Why people end up with both
Because a renewed listing and a new listing look alike in a search result, and the price gap reads as a deal rather than a difference in condition. Somebody comparing feature lists will find them almost identical, because the features are almost identical. The condition is the part that is not in the feature list.
What the listings never say
The listing states Renewed. It does not state what was replaced, who checked it, or how it was tested, and this site does not guess at any of that. The seller program terms are the only source for it, and they are linked below.
