NIB Sterns are a gamble for sure. Now a secondary market Stern raises concerns. I bought a GB LE on the secondary market with minimal ghosting that progressed to involve 8 or so inserts in a few months. Weird the way it happened but luckily it was replaced after I sold it. The original owner worked it out with the distributor. I took a BIG loss on it but could care less as it was a valuable lesson.
