In some cases you are correct. It was used or damaged. OTOH, I told
the story before how some merchandise is perfectly new, good, tested,
but marked refurbished to sell at outlet stores. I've seen this first
hand at a few companies I visited.

As an aside, the same goes for many things sold with different model
numbers. Staples may carry one number, Best Buy another, identical but
for some added accessory.
