Same here... I *will not* buy any refurb stuff at Fry's that isnt a 
white-box/brown-box *vendor* refurb; e.g., refurbs from the *vendor*, not
from Frys.  My current Netgear RT314 was one; I got it for $65 when they
were still selling for $100+.  Local store currently has a TON of 
4-port 10/100 Netgear hubs for $29, and 10baseT hubs for $14.95, and
they're all refurbs-from-NetGear.

If its got that Frys "returned" sticker tho, I keep digging.. 8-)
