To answer your question, yes, someone out there did get a reconditioned Amiga
A1000 once.  Back in October of '86 I bought mine for $750 including the
1080 monitor and have had no reason to regret it.  I had heard recently
that Commodore was trying to arrest the sale of these reconditioned units
because they were going to cut into sales of the new A500, but with the
trade in policy the way it is, I think that the issue of selling these units
will become less important than that of old A1000's eating into sales of
the A500.  Then again, the market seems to look pretty good for the A500
considering how Commodore is offering those great software deals.

On the issue of the software packages for the A500, I got my flyer in
the mail a few weeks ago and it had an area on it for changing the name
and mailing address of the orderer from that on the mailing label.  I
would take this to mean that these offers can be shared with non-C=64
users who want to buy the A500 as well--with or without financial
arrangements?
