Sir Quack is correct.

Returned Axioms are never sold through the Factory Outlet, only new models with slight cosmetic flaws that are invisible except on very close inspection. Most buyers can't find the flaws.

Sometimes returns are "parted out" and the enclosure goes into the wood chipper, where the output is used to make more MDF--eventually.
