Quite agree. I had wrongly assumed that there would be some conditions attached to review units. Seems that it ain't necessarily so.

Yes, although there might be nothing unethical about selling a review unit in the absence of any binding agreement, not clearly indicating in the product description that the device is used is rather unethical, even if it has only been lightly used.

Don't know who would pay those prices for a used product with no warranty from someone with a dubious reputation.
