Bought in "very good condition", it's spotless. I haven't put it under the microscope either, but there's not a scratch to be found. Having bought it as a replacement for the same model, I'd already forgotten in a few hours that it wasn't the same item. After a few weeks, however, I have the impression that the battery lasts slightly less than my previous model, which was probably the same age, so yes, I can see the 'reconditioned' side of it. But for the price, there's absolutely nothing to complain about, it's excellent!
