Where are you seeing this? Is it an error message on the web site?
Duh. I looked at what forum you posted it in and it makes sense. I'm sure it means the item does not have the original packaging.

| Usually if something is sold out of box, it means that someone bought it and returned it, or that the box was damaged. A lot of times its referred to as "open box" and sometimes you don't get everything with it. Like i've bought open box that was missing manuals and such. Can be a great deal though. I bought my Sirius radio unit open box for $30 less than the regular price. |

| Ah, "open box" makes more sense to me. What AJ said is correct. I've bought such items at Fry's, with a sticker indicating they have been returned and put back on the shelf with a discount. More often than not, I end up returning the item to Fry's as well. I attribute this to Fry's not paying attention and placing defective returns back on the shelf. Not worth it for a 10-15% discount and I no longer buy open box items at that store. |

| That is a risk you often run with it, a lot of times it was returned for a reason outside of "oh I didn't like it" |

not really an answer to your question, but these two things are kind of synonymous.
