Some show up next day! If someone returns a product, it can't be sold as new, sometimes, it is just checked out and put in a plain box and resold as a refurbished product. I bought a 60 GB ipod for 10% off from Apple Store, after Salesman said they were out of new units, but he could give me a break on a returned one. People were on waiting list for new ones, because they were out of stock!
