PSA: I bought both my Godins brand-new/sight-unseen, based strictly on my experiences with the Seagull line and their well-deserved reputation for quality - couldn't be more satisfied with my purchases and wouldn't hesitate to buy another the same way. BTW I'd recommend saving your money and buying/ordering a brand-new one from a reputable Canadian retailer - you'll most likely have liberal return privileges, you could have the instrument set up to your specs (possibly at a nominal additional charge), there's the security of a factory warranty, and since the guitar isn't crossing borders the rosewood parts become a non-issue...
