I bought a refurb psu from them a few years back. They actually have pretty good customer service. With that mobo, it could be open box return, or an actual refurb. As long as you're not expecting to get anything except the motherboard, and you like the price, don't be afraid to do it. Though I don't buy from mwave often, when I have dealt with them, they've been helpful and friendly.

Check out the open box section at newegg as well. There are normally a ton of motherboards to be had at good prices. It's luck of the draw though whether you'll receive a full retail boxed item, or just the mobo in a static bag.
