Everyone who wants to buy off Ubid should be aware that these are "reconditioned" Audreys. That being, they were sold as a lot to Ubid as "reconditioned" and Ubid never opens them to take a look at them. You're gambling when you order that you may have to go through the hassle of a return. From what I've seen/heard, Ubid was shipping out the boxes that were in better condition first and recently they seem to be down to beat up boxes with poorly packaged Audreys.
My first Audrey (bought late Jan) was in excellent condition, as a matter of fact, it was not even a refurbished unit... was brand new with full packaging. It did have one razorknife looking swipe down on of the box flaps. I just purchased a second unit last month and it came with all the parts (by luck more than anything.... as the box was in bad condition and anything could have slipped out). It was however reconditioned and missing all the packaging save one half of one of the foam supports. The keyboard had the batteries in it still and one of them was starting to leak. Aside from a keyboard flakiness in the first boot (which resolved itself once I used the other Audrey keyboard once then swapped back (no clue)), it was in good working condition (and updated to FINAL). I can find no problems with this Audrey, though I haven't put it through a rigorous testing yet.
The moral of the story, bid low and keep your expectations low and you may be happily suprised. If not, hassle Ubid till you get compensated fully.
