I was able to pick up a "Fair Condition" Ally for $460 at my local Best Buy. I know people here are stressing picking up an Excellent, but wanted to offer up an experience from someone who often buys used Fair during sales to maximize value.
You can return anything bought at Best Buy during holidays up until Mid January. This includes open box stock.
Most "Fair" stock means no original box and/or missing part. It does not mean it is broken in anyway.
My item was PRISTINE. Basically brand new but came with no box, no power supply. I bought an Anker 100W for $24 which IMO is better than the included and I'm going to use a dock for TV anyway.
YMMV, but I've bought a ton of items marked Fair from Best Buy and it has never been an issue. They are NOT final sale, so worst case scenario you can return if not up to snuff.
