I've just checked and there's a difference of 19 between the most recent file number (DSC_0156) and the recorded total shutter count (175), which I guess could probably be accounted for by me shooting the camera with no card in or similar? I can't remember if I did do that, but probably. However, it's not saying thousands, so it seems reasonable (to me) to think that it's not a refurb.

Sorry Dave but that's not an accurate form of revealing the shutter counts, you will need capture NX or photoshop (the two methods I'm aware of and use) there will be other methods of retrieval but I guess you'll have to Google for the alternatives. Plus, the shutter count doesn't have to be in the thousands to confirm that it's a refurb, all that had to happen was the camera be broken or have a fault on first purchase, it would then go back to the supplier and be reconditioned, it may have very little on the clock in terms of actuations.
Anyway, in case it may help:
In Photoshop you open up a recent image taken with the camera, hit >FILE, scroll down the >FILE INFO and click.
A window will open, it may look a little different to the picture I've uploaded but the fundamentals remain the same.
You need to click >ADVANCED, scroll down to where it displays 'Schema (http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/aux/) or similar, then you will have 'aux:ImageNumber: ........
Notice at the top of the second image it displays IMG_0002.NEF, the counter was reset before the image was taken because the true shutter count in my case is 31297 actuations.
I have blurred out the serial number
Have a good look at http://www.filterfantastic.co.uk/, the last time I checked this over, I couldn't find anything that implied that they sell UK stock, just second hand, refurbs and grey imports. However their ebay page is quite the contrary (the last time I checked).
FF don't sell UK stock. Period.
UK stock is not available at those prices, you know the saying 'If it's too good to be true = it is.'
