Return it, save the money, and look for a local used unit. That way you can examine it thoroughly before buying. Isn't KEH somewhere near your area? With a store, you can examine first, buy, and still have a return/refund period.
KEH is right around the corner from me. Unfortunately they do not have a store front for me to come and look at cameras. Additionally it seems that whatever route I take from here other than hopefully getting the camera replaced will cost me several hundred dollars more.

To be perfectly honest, a refurbished unit from Nikon should be perfect.
This is really weird to me.
I've bough a few refurbished Nikon cameras and lenses from Adorama and Cameta Camera and they were perfect.
Are you saying they won't give you a refund for a broken product, only exchange? Or, not even an exchange but you have to re buy for more money?
At the moment only a refund and not an exchange. Rebuying the camera whether new, used or refurbished will cost me several hundred dollars more than what I bought this one for.

true, I guess a shutter count read would have determined if it was a damaged box/open box return rather than a returned defective product that never got refurbished to a as new state.
The camera camera with 156 actuations. Probably the previous owner got the camera with broken 10 pin connector or broke it themselves and promptly returned.

It is pretty clear that wasn't done in this case - my guess is some sort of sorting/handling error. It sucks, but stuff happens. The more important thing is how they deal with it - sounds like they are falling down on that score, too (he should be allowed to swap or get another for the same price IMHO).
That's exactly what I want, either choice.

I wonder why Nikon sold it for $250 less then their normal refurb price for that body
Nikon was having a 10% off everything in the refurb store.
