Help How to tell if Vibrant is refurbished or not?

[Noobster]

Thread title says all.
All the international Galaxy S here are for 700$ but i found a shop that sells the Vibrant as "brand new", comes with original box and if it was like knew, but i want to make really sure i don't get scammed.
Also, since it will be unlocked, if i update it through Kies (Or an official updater) would it get locked back again?

I have exchanged at least two of them. None of them have been an original OEM type new phone, they have come as a refurb. That is because I have found the difference from my original that I sent back to the two new exchanges I have gotten. The original has a Samsung manufacturer sticker, pertinent information, such as voltages the unit overall needs. The newer/exchanged units has a very generic style sticker, lacking the Samsung logo and pertinent information. It has model and serial number information, but things that say, official Samsung, aren't there.

I really really thank for your advice, but i guess i won't be buying it.

It seems that T-Mobile Vibrant does not supports the 3G band that is used here >_<
