I bought a "blemished box" Touch last time they had this offer a couple of months ago.
Box looked fine, but could see from the tangled wallwart cable that the box had been opened.
And yes some one in Switzerland had it fired up; so I had to get hold of support as I could not register it on http://mysqueezebox.com. It was done by email and the day after it was running.
Just bought a second one. My first one was bought in Canada at over $300 once tax and shipping were factored in. VAT in and free shipping is a great deal.
Well my 'blemished box' touch arrived today.
I examined it with the eye of a CSI investigator looking for signs of that blemish, or indeed that it had even been touched by human hand!
As far as I can tell, based on seals, protection film etc, it is ABSOLUTEY NEW!
Awesome!
Yes my "blemished" one also arrived today and is happily playing internet radio wirelessly into my modded Caiman. Absolute bargin and well worth trying one.

This is getting repetitive! Just swapped my SB Receiver for the new Touch into a Metrum Octave DAC. Well chuffed! :)
You have to think the thing's going to be axed anytime now - no way was mine a "blemished" item outside or inside the box.
For the money, an absolute steal. :cool:
Well if they are going to axe it for something better (async USB output, full 24/192 high res support??), at only £129 I'll be quite happy to just put this one in another room!
Here's mine received today, small dent in top corner of box (may have happened in transit) otherwise perfect. Can't comment on the contents as I won't be opening it until the weekend, but all seals are intact and the box looks unopened.:)

I wish you fella's would hush up, I'm desperately trying not to buy one :doh:
Go on, Tim, you know you want to :)
I can guarantee hours of fun. Was listening to Radio Paradise today in hi-bitrate and they were playing some really good rock.
No bashed box models now, though you can buy a red Radio - http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/specia.../blemished-box
I've got two black ones, but always wanted a RED one :eek:
Provided you don't set your expectations too high, these make very nice bedside players, or sets for the kitchen. If I didn't have a Boom (stupid name!) in the kitchen I'd get one . . .
Mind you the stereo Boom with its bi-amped DSP sounds loads better than the Radio: Logitech could do with making a stereo Radio with beefier sound . . :eyebrows:
