Buying a "new" macpro when its "used"

[jsw088]

Okay. So, I know this may be a paranoid question but I really just want to make sure. Apple has the 14 day return policy and I know that people are returning their 2011 models. What are the chances of buying a macpro that claims to be "new" but technically has been used for less than 14 days? Would Apple do this? Or am I just paranoid? Thanks.

Or am I just paranoid?

No, the returned devices would be sold back as refurbished.

By law, retailers are not allowed to sell "used" products as if they are new, as it's dishonest (though for some reason Gamestop skirts around this with new releases not in shrink wrap because the sales associates get to play a few copies).

Shouldnt you be worried about everything single thing you buy then since nearly everywhere there's a return policy.
