The saving grace with Amazon is that they still have good customer
service. Amazon is sending me a replacement order and arranged for UPS
to pick up the return item.

Ordered mine Saturday Ships from and sold by Amazon.com and it arrived
today.  Brand new AFAICT.  Opened it up; joined it to my network;
updated firmware; installed EDO, Screen Off and Weather screensavers
(thanks triode and bluegaspode); and put it back in the box.  My
experience with Amazon is that they will do whatever they can to make
things right if there is a problem.  Just checked and it's $10 cheaper
today!  Get 'em while you can...

 Bought a new Touch from Amazon.com (not third party seller). The Touch

 one one of the seals was actually broken and just had another identical
 seal pasted over the opened seal!
 
 This is the second time in recent months that a clearly returned/used
 item was sent to me by Amazon.com as new.

I bought a Touch fom Amazon. It came from Germany via a company called
Avides. It arrived yesterday, and looked brand new, with all the
relevant plastic film etc. I set it all up, registered it on
mysqueezebox.com, and tried it out. No problem with my own music, but
when I tried Napster I got a message saying I should contact
www.mysqueezebox.com/support as the device is registered with somebody
else. Interesting

My recent Touch purchase was also interesting.

My order was not from Amazon, I ordered it from a local Hungarian PC
webshop. Their central store is located in Germany.

Actually everything looks as brand-new. The paper box was glued down
with that round film on the edge. Then the inside black box also glued
down.
The remote , did have plastic film on the back, not on the front, but as
I saw you Youtube unboxing videos, that's normal.

The Touch itself had the blue film on the leg, then plastic film on the
back, and the black plastic on the front display.
The interesting thing was that it had 1 or 2 fingerprints on the
display, was not from me, it was under the black plastic.

Anyway I don't think it's used. It asked for Mysqueezebox.com
registration, I think that's an obvious sign of a brand-new item.

Yes and after a factory reset even then it will tell if it's registered
to another account during the process of reconnecting to mysb.com

Because of the hassle of sending the Touch back to USA from Japan I
opted to keep it and get a partial refund from Amazon.

Mine has fingerprints on the screen, scratches and scuff marks on
internal packaging, scratches on and around the optical jack, and the
power socket shows obvious signs of use.

Wrapped in plastic (even the blue stuff), and no problem registering at
MSB. However, I am sure a unit refurbished by Logitech would have its
MSB account deleted as a matter of course.

Whatever its history, I am keeping it, and moving on

Good that you got a refund but scratches ? The fingerprints are normal
due to the Touch screen , but scratches ?

Sounds like the previus user never got it to work properly ,network and
firewall problems sends the bugger back ,multiple reconect ions of the
power plug suggest a lot of reboots :)

Does it work?  Any problems?  Probably just fine in operation.  Might be
a return that got mixed up with new product.  New Touch's have plastic
film to be removed from the screen and metal stand.

Just reporting in -- my Touch from Amazon arrived this afternoon. The
box was completely sealed and showed no signs of having been previously
opened. The Touch itself was pristine. It started up just fine, updated
itself, then connected to the LMS and played fine. 

Sorry the OP didn't have the same experience.

No. I did get one of those when I bought a dented box Touch but they

It's a bummer, as I am in Japan and returning this is going to be a
hassle, and won't be cheap. And of course there is a good chance Amazon
won't have a 'new' one left to send me.

Ggr..

It must be Logitech at fault, as I bought it via Amazon international
sales (not a merchant), and I doubt if Amazon would indulge in such
crude bait and switch antics. Or would they ...?

I've bought a fair number of things from Amazon over the years and have
always received new items if that was how it was described on the site.


UPS tells me that tomorrow is the expected delivery date for the second
Touch I recently ordered from Amazon. In about 24 hours I'll be able to
let you know what I receive.
