Yeah, they only -list- rebuilt units.  Ask if they have any new ones.
I got a new one from them last year for about $50 more than a rebuilt unit.

According to the list's recollection last year, their rebuilt units
were supposed to be very good.  Which is why I called, and their
suprised phone lady then told me the new ones were only a little
more expensive.  She didn't understand it either, but I said 'send it'!
