Swanny may be right. I have a friend who bought one of these NEW with an opened box items and received a NEW item in a sealed box. I think the dealers are doing this to move inventory at a discount without having their dealship pulled.
"Brand New"...I don't think so
What's up with the ads that say in the title "Brand New" and then proceed to show the item on top of the box, obviously opened. Often times it will say only opened to test, or only used a week before I bought another higher priced whatever...etc.
IMO "New" means just that, never opened and especially never hooked up.
