I guess I got lucky with my Blade. I bought it from a guy that sells a lot of Blades and Blade parts. He said it was "not new but unused". What I got was a brand new Blade that the box had been opened. It was obvious that it had never been flown. I only paid 145.00 for it - quite a bargain! I can spend the money I saved on 1320 lipos.
