Btw, I've read there should be a red refurbished dot somewhere - I can't find it. Where should be this red dot on refurbished lenses, cameras, flashes?

On my refurbished body there's a pin hole on the serial number sticker.

On my refurb lenses there's a red permanent marker dot on the metal mount near one of the screws.

Thank you very much, now I can see. A pin hole on the serial number sticker is tiny.
Still can't find any marks on my referb Speedlite 430EX II

thought that one used to be on the shoe or the cable connect.

I have to retract what I said about my 100-400. The IS isnt working so back it goes.

Just called Canon and cancelled my 70-300L order - which was on backorder. Voice on the other end could give no expected date for delivery. I'll wait for the end-of-the-year rebates and buy new.

fyi, mine was on backorder too (i think i posted earlier.) the lady that took my call also didn't give a date. but luckily mine did arrive about a week or 2 ago.

the 70-300l i got was in near brand-new shape. not a single scratch, and all the rings turn like new. seems to work pretty darn well. appears very sharp.

also got a 10-22. it however was quite dirty. there was quite a bit of dust on the glass, and in some places around the edge i couldn't reach. clearly it has been used and not cleaned. the exterior looked brand new though. took it to vegas / zion and it was very sharp. i'm going to take it back to canon for a cleaning, but otherwise it was well worth the money.
