I went to the shop to get my notebook as the salesman that I was dealing with called me to say my unit has arrived, and that it is ready for pick up. I was very happy that I would finally be able to get it as I was suppose to get it on Tuesday but it was pushed back to today. However when I arrived there, the salesman called in sick for the day and I was dealing with a different person. This person was not very friendly and tried to raise the price I had agreed with the other salesperson. After much arguing and haggling 
, I got the price that I negotiated with the other salesman and was relieved.
This is the part where I wanted to kick the salesman all the way to Timbuktu
. When he brought out the unit, I noticed the box was already opened and upon opening the lid, the black bezel surrounding the keyboard was full of scratches . I didn't want to pay for that unit and I asked for another unit. The salesman flatly denied it and said that it was the last unit and it was an obsolete model . He also said they won't be ordering any new units and the one they had was the last one. Suffice to say, I called the other salesman and told him what happenned and he agreed that he would order straight away and he did. When I told the other salesman, he immediately made a last ditch attempt to try and sell it to me but I would have none of it. So here I am, very, very sad and depressed 
because I wanted to use my notebook for my work that I have to send in next week but instead I'll have to use my old notebook instead.
My question however is that when you receive a new unit, does it have a lot of scratches or only a little, or not at all? Is there also a piece of tape surrounding the notebook to protect the bezel cover? Please tell me because I really want that notebook but would really like to know about these scratches.

. The problem is the other places I shopped tried to blackmail me. There's one shop which is selling the notebook at a much higher price but they have a much larger stock. When I asked the guy at the shop, he said if you want, I can open a new box for you and you can see a unit but when the unit is perfect, you have to buy it straight away. I wasn't going to be held to ransom so I went off.
. Give me a break, I'm not that stupid
