I just noticed that eBay sells a lot of "NEW" musical keyboards. Far more new than used, at least in the Yamaha brand.
I only buy new products.
I couldn't bare the uncertainty, what has happened to a used product before getting my hands on it.
I almost cancelled the purchase. It was described as "new". The comment of eBay said "new = unopened box".
The seller stated: "It was a gift on the conference from Google. The box didn't have a seal. I didn't touch anything, as I already have a 2nd one. But the box doesn't have a seal".
I hope for the best. The Chromebook itself should be shrinkwrapped and never has been booted or started.
Worst case scenario: If I find anything bothersome, I'll have to escalate to eBay.

Sometimes I'm annoyed myself about my "Adrian Monk" like behavior.
I envy my friends, who never clean their tablets, never put them in a cover and simply don't care.
I polish and clean my gadgets all the time - and after 1 year I don't use them anymore all the same...
But I always have been that nitpicky/fault-finding and simply can't help myself.

Fingers crossed, it really comes 100% untouched...
