If you find any machines "new-in-box" most likely they won't work because 
the logic board capacitors will have leaked by now -- not to mention that 
if no one has removed the logic board battery there's about a 50% chance it 
will  have leaked with much worse consequences.

These things aren't maintenance-free, even just sitting in a box.
