These tend to disappear very quickly, and available quantity is unknown. This is the same iPad that has been listed for $249 recently. The product listing page lists a 1 year warranty, even though connection mentions a 90 day warranty for open box products (they don't do a great job distinguishing between open box and recon). They mention that open box products should look 100% new and they don't mention anything about missing accessories or expected wear/tear/damage.
Also a big warning, connection has a restocking fee. This isn't like buying something from amazon or another retailer like that. I know some people got burned by the recent $399 Mac mini M1 deal from connection where they had buyers remorse.
Good luck!
Edit: Go ahead and print the full product page as it lists a 1 year warranty, but it's possible it is only really supposed to have a 90 day warranty.
Edit2: Connection doesn't seem to consistently send shipment notifications. It's best to check your order in your account or my your order number.

I'm curious to see if someone orders one, whether that quantity drops. That could indicate that they're selling new inventory as "reconditioned". Sorry, I geek out on stuff like this, appreciate you all tolerating and entertaining my curiosity :-).

One thing I just remembered... My MBP shipped prior to the landline based verification. Maybe see if it ships even without the call back?
Edit: Also ordered a Mac mini M1 a few months ago and didn't have to do the verification then. Strange!

Finally switched to Android, haven't looked back.
I do miss Apple's default font.
That said Android can screw you, screwed users by not allowing apps to permanently move data to the SD card, update an app, it automatically is moved back.
Guess what I spend time on.
Anyone know the OS life cycle remaining on this iPad, seems rather a new release? More important than a hardware warranty?
Apple doing major hardware change, orphanimg off models as code for apps written to new hardware?
I'm just asking, without apps it's a paper weight, especially the browser aging out of support.
Something doesn't seem right at that price point.
