It was advertised as an open box return, missing power cord and cables / manual.
There was no box.
The sales rep. explicitly told me that it was a return under their 45 day policy, and that it could not have sat on their open-box close-out shelf for more than a few months. The kicker is that they showed a reciept for Jan 2015 to prove that it was bought then, and then returned within 45 days. I asked for proof since it looked so "used." I was told the Apple warranty was still valid since it was purchased in Jan 2015. They also tried to sell me "Geek Squad" coverage which at the time seemed odd after they said it was covered by Apple.
At no point was it advertised as USED for over two years, more closer to THREE.
This is a mixture of incompetence and fraud. They knew it wasn't an "new open-box return". Maybe the floor rep wasn't fully aware (They all looked to be in their early twenties), but whomever they talked to in the back to reduce the price from 799 to 499 knew. It was way to quick, and too steep for the slight dent in the case.
It stinks.
