Refurbished Umax Scanner at Fry's - buyer beware?!

An ad for the local Fry's (SF Bay Area) lists a refurbished Umax Astra 3400 scanner for $39.00.

I really want to get a cheap scanner and don't want the hassle of waiting 5 months for rebates to come back, so I figured this was as cheap as I could reasonably find. Plus it's a pretty good scanner.

What scares me is the refurbished/Fry's part as I've heard scary things about open-box items from Fry's. And I'm not quite sure what "refurbished" exactly means...

But heck, it's only $39. Would you go for it or avoid like the plague?

Thanks, I'm going to buy it tonight(5/16) unless I hear some horror stories.

Thanks for any advice,
