Where can I find a new in box preloaded with lion base model is fine. Thanks
*****! I really need lion support and don't really like eBay as I was screwed over there when I got scammed...
No refurbs! Must be in mint condition, well I guess I'll check fry's...

Apple refurbs are actually brand new machines shipped back to the warehouse.
Ever notice how you aren't able to buy a previous gen at an Apple Retail Store (ARS)? When a new model of ANYTHING comes out the folks at ARS stay overnight packing away the old stock and shipping it back to Apple where it's stored there until someone buys it from the refurbed site.
There are CTO returns there, but as one would guess they are far and few between. There are never NEVER broken Macs that are brought back to working order. Apple parts those out and uses the working parts for repairs.
Apple's refurbed machines are the best you can get because they are 99% new and never used machines that still carry the standard warranty and are eligible for Apple Care.

being an Apple Nerd, you should already know right? just kidding
Your best bet is refurb store if you want guarenteed quality or check 2nd hand places like ebay, craigslist if you want to go with a bit more risk.
Honestly If I had to guess you are only wanting the old model because of a bunch of whiners right?
Let me tell you that the new 2012 runs very cold and silent whereas the 2011 version ran very hot and a lot louder. You miss out on USB3, you miss out on a laminated screen (improved quality) and to be honest, mountain lion is a tonne better than Lion. Lion is like of like the vista of os x.

Yes but as I said above, I have OCD and the dock separator and active app lights bother me from mt lion but I like the lion/sl dock...
I realize that. I want the origional box, not a white box. I have OCD, yes...
I would venture that your best and only bet would be an Apple Authorized Reseller that has old, unsold stock.
Connecting Point Computers in Medford Oregon would be one such Reseller. Last I knew (heard from someone), they even had one or more 24" iMac(s) in stock . . . . still.
