I had the opposite, I bought a used D700 at a local camera store with a supposed shutter count of 12.500. When I came home I checked it with photoME and it had a shutter count of 43.000 (but a camera count of 12.500). Fortunately I managed to get a free nikon EN-EL3a and a UV filter for free as compensation.
Interesting. What's the difference? My D40 shows 22k accuations in my flickr EXIF.

I recently bought a Nikon Refurb'ed D600... It started up prompting for Language/date/time etc... I immediately checked the shutter count (because there had been discussions about whether refurbs get reset to new) and the shutter count was at 50... I'm guessing that refurbs, and new testing produce the 50 actuations as part of Nikon's test protocols...

The difference is that you can reset the camera count but not the shutter count.
If the File Sequence Number is Off, the next image you take will be numbered xxx0001. Turn the camera off, and the next image will be xxx0001. Turning the camera off resets the file numbering to 0001. Set the File Sequence Number to On, and images will be numbered sequentially.... xxx0001, xxx0002, xxx0003, regardless of whether you turn the camera off or not.
The shutter count, however, is ALWAYS sequential, and cannot be changed. Nikon does not change (and maybe even cannot) the number even when refurbishing a body.
His D800 tried to resist, but in the end shutter button was pressed 62 times regardless of what the D800 wanted. Poor D800. Lol
