All the "refurb" items I've bought appear to be new old stock, still sealed in
manufacturers packaging. I've always assumed it's a marketing term...

Apple refurb stuff I've bought seems to be tested (they often have a test
sheet in with them) and then repackaged in plain brown packaging instead
of the glossy box.

Full warranty and stuff though - I've been impressed (and saved a fair bit :-))
