I asked the manager do they send them back to the manufacturer or do they sell them. he said they sell them as an open box special. I asked how much? He said $679. I couldn't pass it up. I was going to buy one new in a few months anyway. So I couldn't pass it up. I bought my lens and speedlite gear from Amazon.

I also have a P&S (Sony Cybershot DSC s600) to carry around when i don't want to lug the other gear around.

When buying new camera gear, check out http://www.bhphotovideo.com. They are probably the best company, in service, knowledge, and price. I have been buying all of my gear from them, and they have always been right around the lowest price, and if I can find it cheaper, from a reputable source, they will match it, however, they generally have the best price, and even for a bit more, they are worth it.

Check them out when going for new gear, and congrats on the cheap Rebel.
