I'm sure the PEs Woot sold were NEW. They are very scrupulous about that. When they sold the Augen 7", they contacted all buyers when they discovered the CPU was not clocked as spec. and offered to refund them. That was lucky because the Augen was HORRIBLE for a dozen reasons not related to the CPU!
It's just that the parts used to build the PEs may have been leftovers from odd lots. Or maybe all the parts were uniform and just fine, and the odd parts were left on the production line. It just seemed odd that some vendors seemed to be scrounging to fill orders, while Woot obviously got hold of more than 2,500 of the things, at a blowout price. It could be that other vendors didn't want to hold more than a few at a time lest they be stuck with them. Obviously I'm hoping the Woot PEs are the best they ever built since I bought one.
