Beyond that, I know that a few stores have the information on front, usually if they provide warranty service, otherwise I don't believe there's an easy way to tell. You may be able to call Sony and ask regarding the Serial number.

For what it's worth, I bought my 505 refurbished, and it was great. If you're exceptionally picky about the asthetic condition of the unit, you might be worried, but otherwise, it'll work just fine.
Your box did not have any indication on the front that it was a refurb? Was the seal white rather than clear?

I'm buying from a person, not a company, so I need a way to verify that the product is new, as stated. It originally came from the Sony Outlet Store, so that's why I'm concerned.
