I think there are very few actual cases of people receiving refurb nc from the now expired listing.

Edit: Actually, I think there was only one person claiming that they had received a refurb nook color.
I do not think that anyone received a black-and-white device instead of color, and their only complaint was that it was refurbished !

Actually, I bought a Refurb Nook Classic from B&N for my wife for Christmas, and it looked brand new.

In actuality, I expect that a handful of working returned Nook Colors were judged "like new" by someone at one of the warehouses and those were sent out amongst the 11,000.

Certainly it is unlikely there was even 1,000 returned units (that were working), let alone 11,000 and no way they could be processed as "certified refurbished" considering that the product has only been available for 3 months.
