There is a BIG difference between poor QC and outright fraud, which is what selling refurbished as new would be. As for your concerns about spending a lot of money and having difficulty returning it, caveat emptor. "You pays your money and you takes your chances" if you choose to buy from outside your country and outside the protection of your country's consumer protection laws. Since you've already made your views on Kobo's quality control painfully and tediously clear, the risk is one you're well aware of, the consequences are of your own choosing.
