Anyone ever bought a "shop soiled" bike?

I bought an ex-demo and apart from a few scratches, which the seller carefully pointed out, it was perfect, that was in 2003 and I still have it.

IPA = Iso Propyl Alcohol. Never tried drinking it though.

Where can I get one? If it was already damaged I wouldn't have to worry about that first devastating scratch or dent when it falls over in the garage.

I once dropped a socket wrench onto the brand new upturned frame of an Evil Resident I was building up.

It dinged the bottom side of the down tube.

Said socket wrench was subsequently retrieved from next door's garden!
