Hi, I just unpacked a brand new ( so it was on the list ) Polyend Play Plus and I immediately noticed things that rise my eyebrowse, like the USB connecting cable not properly wrapped OR the amount of grease in the back of the unit and especially the Projects loaded in, I don’t think the jittery addition or the Techno Project SC is part of the DEMO, as I have a copy of the original content of my last unit back in november and there is no such thing.

Confirmed to be sold by a unnamed Reverb retailer that should know better than to mark things [Brand New](https://help.reverb.com/hc/en-us/articles/40934592346395-Music-gear-conditions-What-they-mean-and-why-they-matter#:~:text=unopened%2C%20new%20in%20box%2C%20and%20covered%20under%20the%20manufacturer%E2%80%99s%20original%20warranty). Especially when they have been unboxed and used as a demo unit.
